New Linux (Ubuntu 18.04.2) Installation - RapidMiner Fails On Startup

User34031

Hello,

Just downloaded the Linux version of RapidMiner (Free) - Studio Version 9.2. When running the ./RapidMiner-Studio.sh, RapidMiner launches but hangs on 'Initializing Plugin GUI'. The last entry in the terminal is:

INFO: Community repository 'Training Resources' added.

I have read several articles and have taken the following actions:

Changed permissions:
set chmod +x  RapidMiner-Studio.sh

Edited /etc/environment to include the following line:

JAVA_HOME="java-8-openjdk-amd64"

source /etc/environment 

echo $JAVA_HOME  provides the following results:

java-8-openjdk-amd64

Please note, I also have OpenJDK 10.0.2 installed.

In addition, I edited the RapidMiner-Studio.sh and added the following to the lines below:  --add-modules=java.xml.bind 

    # Launch Studio
    LAUNCH=0
    if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
      eval \"$JAVA\" --add-modules=java.xml.bind $JVM_OPTIONS -cp \"${rmClasspath}\" com.rapidminer.launcher.GUILauncher \"$@\"
    else
      eval \"$JAVA\" --add-modules=java.xml.bind $JVM_OPTIONS -cp \"${rmClasspath}\" com.rapidminer.launcher.GUILauncher
    fi

    if [ $? -eq 2 ]
    then
        echo RapidMiner Studio will now relaunch 
        LAUNCH=1
    fi
done

I have also tried deleting all of the files in the .RapidMiner folder and relaunching RapidMiner.

Lastly, I tried running RapidMiner without loading the extensions (Disable extension button) and RapidMiner continues hangs on 'Initializing Plugin GUI'.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

***FIXED***

Changed /etc/environment to include the path:

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64"

Also had to remove both references from the RapidMiner-Studio.sh script and return it back to the original state.

--add-modules=java.xml.bind

Thanks!

Hi,

you might also need to install the libopenjfx-java package if not installed yet.
