How to launch Processing in Ubuntu

w1jp

I have installed processing on my Ubuntu. I can execute the launch script from terminal (./processing); however, when I dbl-click on the icon in Files, I get gedit and the script. Right-clicking and selecting "Open with Run Software" just sits and spins, then comes back to Files.

Have you already checked whether that launch script has execution permission? /:)

Yes. It is +x. :)

Most I can tell you is what I've done. Watch out that I'm using an outta support 64-bit Lubuntu 13.04 yet! #-o

• I've unpacked the Processing v2.0.2 file into my home folder.
• The erased its bundled "/java/" subfolder in order to force it to use my system Java version.
• Set execution permission for "processing" launcher script.
• As an extra, made a desktop shortcut launcher too:
