Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I had updated to Puppy Linux 5.1.1 from 4.3.1 in order to resolve my printing problems with cups 1.3.11.

While I'm ecstatic that I can now reliably print over my wireless network, it's at the expense of running another application ('Spoon', which is part of Pentaho Data Integration 4.0.1). I ran the shell file in 'urxvt' (terminal), and saw the following messages:

INFO 27-09 06:08:36,918 - Using "/tmp/vfs_cache" as temporary files store.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument not valid
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error (Unknown Source)
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error (Unknown Source)
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error (Unknown Source)
at org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Font.init (Unknown Source)

And the list goes on an on. When I opened up 'spoon.sh' as a text file to attempt to get a clue, I thought the problem was that I didn't have Xulrunner installed. However when I checked my backup of 4.3.1, the path referenced in the shell file wasn't there either.

So then I thought I needed JRE (since I got the same response in 4.3.1 when JRE is not installed). After installing "Version 6 Update 21" (latest), it didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

um, you did reboot after installing JRE of course? (just asking).

you are connected into the internet when installing, as it seems to be wanting a "live install connection" available?

try pinging (from the terminal) eclipse.org and see if it connects, maybe you just need some firewall adjustments;

also I note the website has a whole lot of resources on swt which may be if help. (such as checking if it works with 6.21, maybe it just needs a step back to 6.20)

other than that, maybe some more error lines would be of help (say 50) and give us a hint of where to guide you.

regards
scsijon

Thanks scsijon.

Yes, I did try rebooting my PC after installing JRE. I also went to the Java website to confirm Java was successfully working.

I was connected to the internet during the time of the install.

However I haven't yet tried:
- pinging the eclipse.org
- switching between Java 6.20 and 6.21 (or visa-versa); I didn't pay attention to the JRE version included with Lucid (as a pet).

As for getting you a copy of everything this else from urxvt, dumb question... how to I copy and paste the text from urxvt to say Geany or even this post? Every time I right-click the mouse to copy, it deselects the highlighted text. Thanks again.

Finally figured out how to copy/paste from URXVT! Press both left and right buttons on the mouse (I don't have a "middle" button). Okay, here's what I'm getting:

Per scsijon's suggestion, I can ping eclipse.org. Haven't tried going back to JRE version 6.20, since Puppy 4.3.1 had 6.21 and had no problems running Spoon. Any ideas??? Thanks!!!

I like the new Lucid 5.2 and was hoping something may have changed to allow Pentaho Data Integration to run on this new release but I still get the same exact errors as above. Any ideas? Thanks!

For those that care....

The answer....

Downloaded all 4 Helvetica fonts to my /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF folder and wham!! PDI opened up like champ. I cannot believe it was that simple!

I guess Lucid doesn't have as comprehensive a font library as Puppy 4.3.1? Anyway, case closed.
