blueMarine not launching properly

[Kundalinux]

When I launch my newly installed blueMarine I can see it's splash screen which says the program is loading, along with Terminal doing some stuff in the background. After a few seconds what should be blueMarine main window appears blank, with no menus or anything else, just a white window. So I still haven't been able to use the program once. Anyone else experiencing this? Please help :)

Similar problem here:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: it/tidalwave/netbeans/boot/Main

Perhaps this addresses the problem you are having:

A patched 0.9.RC2b release is now available for download. It fixes a blocking problem with 0.9.RC2 startup (all operating systems)...

Cheers.

Sadly the current version (0.9.RC2b) does not seem to be working on 64bit Gutsy as of yet, I have informed the developers and a bug report has been submitted...

http://bluemarine.tidalwave.it/issues/browse/BM-602

From Giudici:
"Hmm... 64bit JVM... I've never tested on a 64bit JVM and there are some native libraries in blueMarine, so it could be a problem (maybe)."

btw, seen reports that it works well for Vista and WinXP users, latest version can be downloaded from here: http://bluemarine.tidalwave.it/download

This project looks very promising for those looking for Adobe Lightroom functionality for Linux, stay tuned...

and damn sure there _is_ a problem. I wish they'd get it fixed, cuz Picasa on linux is not something that I'm willing to use for a long time)

Have you already tried using BlueMarine? I did (with chroot) and honeslty, at that time, it doesn't do a lot. Just load images (sometimes) wants to copy everything in other folders and I haven't found a way to do proper RAW edition with it.

An interesting project, but not there yet, IMHO. Although I would be very glad to be proved wrong :)

Take care,

PS: have a look at my blog - I am trying to load it with as much Linux photography tricks as possible

I was able to get past this error in Feisty using the following:


sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/share/blueMarine/

sudo chown -R root:root /usr/share/blueMarine/

cd /usr/bin

blueMarine

Once the splash screen loads, it appears to hang at the point where the status indicator reads: Starting Modules, but behind the splash is another dialog asking for you to set up the workspace. If you choose to change the default directory, the Next button will no longer be enabled. Accept the default and restart blueMarine.

Forgot to mention that I had to disable Beryl and fall back to Metacity. While I was using Beryl, the interface was completely white.

I managed to run blueMarine on hardy 64 bit using Fabrizzio's instructions here: http://www.intilinux.com/software/554/bluemarine-open-source-photo-workflow/ to solve a java exception issue.
Then I had to completely disable compiz to avoid the blank window I was having after the splash screen.

Hope that helps.
