SH3D kinda makes a no-crash

Emmanuel:

Under Ubuntu 10.04 SH3D v2.3 (the jnlp-version) behaves a bit strange these last days (weeks). When I open the program and draw a wall, everything is fine. I can insert a door or window, I can insert furniture.

But when I am not active for a few minutes, "half" of the program freezes. I still can draw walls and rotate the 3D view, but it's impossible to insert any further furniture.

Maybe there is a solution?

Would you have a stack trace in the Java console window?
To display the Java console window:
- run "javaws -viewer" command which opens two windows,
- close Java cache viewer window,
- click on the Advanced tab in the Java control panel window,
- select Show console in Parameters > Java console,
- click on OK,
- relaunch Sweet Home 3D.

After opening a terminal, I executed the command you gave. The results are different from what you tell me.

I guess you don't use Sun JVM.
What is the answer to the command "java -version"?

Emmanuel:

In the picture above you can see the terminal window with the command I typed.

The second window is the ONLY response I get.

As far as I can see, I have some "compatible" Java version installed. I looked on the Sun website, but it's rather complicated to install Jave from their site. I'm so clumsy that I would prefer not to follow that list of instructions, as I'm afraid of screwing things up.

You're right. Don't break anything! [;)]
I'll find an other way...

Last night I did some further testing.

When I run SH3D-jnlp I have the problem described above: I can draw walls, but that's all.

When I run SH3D-normal I don't have any problems.

When I first run SH3D-normal and, while it's open, start SH3D-jnlp, than SH3D-jnlp runs normal as well. Only difference is that SH3D-jnlp runs slower.

When I close both and then run SH3D-jnlp again, it behaves normal, albeit slow.

If I restart my computer and then run SH3D-jnlp again, the problem returns.

With SH3D-normal I'm referring to the installer-version and SH3D-jnlp is the version that installs the icon to the desktop.

I hope this may help you in narrowing down the problem.
