Hi,

I just build a version for debian, maybe you can test it also

Hi Philippe,

I'd love to test it, but I'm not familiar with Debian/Ubuntu package building. Can you instruct me how to build a binary package from your files?

[Philippe Coval (rzr)]

Let me make you gain some time,
I've also published a built package (which I will update soon), just refer to :

take care

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Does this still happen with the package in karmic-updates or a newer release of Ubuntu?

[Jan Reucker (slowhand-47)]

Yes, I'm currently on Lucid and the problem still exists:

jan:~# tuxguitar
/usr/bin/tuxguitar: 155: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/jre/bin/java: not found
jan:~# which java
/usr/bin/java
jan:~# java -version
java version "1.6.0_18"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8.1) (6b18-1.8.1-0ubuntu1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode)

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Thank you for the update. I will look into this. Feel free to report any other issues you may find.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

I'm sorry, I can't reproduce this. Could you please post the output of:
echo $JAVA_HOME

[Jan Reucker (slowhand-47)]

That helped a lot, thanks for your help! Finally I can use Tuxguitar again!

Not being a Java programmer myself I totally forgot about the JAVA_HOME entry in my .bashrc! It still pointed to the Sun JDK that I used some Ubuntu versions ago. The upgrade to Karmic must have replaced it with the OpenJDK. I fixed the JAVA_HOME path, now tuxguitar starts (although it takes eternally to get past the splash screen, which turns grey after some seconds, until the Tuxguitar window appears after 30-40 seconds).

Thanks again and sorry for the inconvenience.
