sweethome3d couldn't start

[Maxime Chéramy (maxime81)]

Exact same problem with Debian Jessie.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Pedro Torres (pedels)]

Same problem, Ubunutu 15.04 upgraded from 14.10.

[Patrick Grioni (lordpkappa)]

Same problem here with Ubuntu 15.04

[Mashathung (mashathung)]

Same problem in Ubuntu 15.04 (fresh installation) with some additional error as shown below

[Patrick Grioni (lordpkappa)]

Any workaround so far?

[Pedro Torres (pedels)]

As a workaround I downloaded the application from the Sweet Home 3D site:

http://www.sweethome3d.com/es/download.jsp

or directly from sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sweethome3d/files/SweetHome3D/SweetHome3D-4.6/

Choose x86 or x64 depending on your system and it works out of the box. Just extract it in any folder under your home and execute. No installation needed.

It can open all my files without problems and so I can use the application until the repo version is fixed.

[Patrick Grioni (lordpkappa)]

Yes i'll do the same.

[Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd)]

I also get the same error message with sweethome3d 4.5+dfsg-3 on Ubuntu Wily.

To the person who mentioned this also affected Debian, do you know if this has been reported there, and if there's a bug number we could watch?

[Maksym Strukov (unbelll)]

As a workaround it works fine from sudo/root.

[Jocelyn (jocelyn-j)]

Launching the program with the following command line works correctly:
export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=""; sweethome3

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS was set to "-javaagent:/usr/share/java/jayatanaag.jar", but I couldn't find where this environment variable is set.

[billcho (phybillcho)]

Try to edit the "sweethome3d.sh"
> sudo gedit /usr/share/sweethome3d/sweethome3d.sh
# add the following line before ". /usr/lib/java-wrappers/java-wrappers.sh"
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=""

[Maksym Strukov (unbelll)]

Works fine in 15.10
