Crash on clicking preferences

[Puybaret]

Ok, then what did you mean by "it doesn't work"?
I also wonder if the -D... option should rather be placed before -jar option. Can you try?

This is odd, it did only show the splash screen. Today that command starts the whole application but crashed when opening Preferences.

Changing the arguments order as you said, makes Preferences work, thanks!

Code: Select all

java -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.checkOffScreenSupport=false -jar /usr/share/java/sweethome3d.jar

Hi,
same problem (crash on preferences) on Linux Debian (BunsenLab). Sorry but I did not understand how did you solved, I installed the Debian package and then I tried the version on SourgeForge.
The fact is that Java is out of my knowledge and probably is just me that do not understand what you are talkking about.

Just go to the download page http://www.sweethome3d.com/download.jsp download the Web Starter http://www.sweethome3d.com/SweetHome3D.jnlp and open it with javaws

[Puybaret]

goetz, the JNLP file you referenced won't solve wood's problem.
It should rather be http://www.sweethome3d.com/SweetHome3D-NoOffscreen.jnlp

Thanks for replay. I am not using Sweet Home 3D with Java Web Start (do not have Java 6 installed, should I?). So I guess goetz answer did not fit my problem. And the file indicated by Puybaret is a .jnlp, so (for what I understood) is suppose to be used by a Java Web Starter (same story I guess).

Puybaret, you are right!

wood, just add the checkOffScreenSupport option when invoking sweethome3d. Your path may defer. dpkg -L sweethome3d will show you where the sweethome3d.jar file is. It maybe:

Code: Select all

java -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.checkOffScreenSupport=false -jar /usr/share/sweethome3d/sweethome3d.jar

[Puybaret]

wood, the only other solution is to add the option:

Code: Select all

-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.checkOffScreenSupport=false

after the word "java" in the SweetHome3D script available in the downloadable installer.

Then, the last line of the script

Code: Select all

exec "$PROGRAM_DIR"/jre1.6.0_45/bin/java -Xmx1024m ...

should become:

Code: Select all

exec "$PROGRAM_DIR"/jre1.6.0_45/bin/java -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.checkOffScreenSupport=false -Xmx1024m ...

(be sure to add no line returns)

Thanks again. It works (of course) now. Sorry if I was a little slow understending.

Had this problem with version 5.1 on Ubuntu 14.04. Used the suggested java fix line from the FAQ. Then I could change preferences. A side effect was that I could not longer delete walls. Removed the java line and then I could delete a wall again.
