Hi all,

I want to start rapid miner on linux Mint 19.3, but it doesn't work: so, when I run the RapidMiner-Studio.sh in the terminal it stops with the following process:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Product constraint manager could not be initialized!

My java is on version 8, so I don't know what the reason for this is. Does anyboday have a solution for this? Thanks in Advance!

Hi,

Can you please post the content of the ~/.RapidMiner/rapidminer-studio.log file?

Hey,

I cannot find th log file, it is not where the readme.txt suggests to find it.

Hey Scott,

sadly this article doesn't help me. I am working with Linux mint and I checked all the program files and could not find any log file.

@thore hmm can't help you there. @BalazsBarany is my go-to Linux guy. Maybe he knows?

Hi,

I installed Linux Mint 19.3 in a virtual machine. Installed Java 8 and RapidMiner. I didn't get Studio to run, because Java exited at different points with a segmentation fault. I'm not sure if it's just a Java problem, because other applications also crashed a lot.

However, ~/.RapidMiner was created and had the studio log in it. If you want help, you have to retrieve this file.

If your system is otherwise stable (doesn't have the problems I mentioned), you could also try the Amazon Coretto JVM 8 distribution. I use that for running RapidMiner on my system.

Regards,
Balázs

Hello,

Same thing here and I have tried some different Java versions (8.0.242.j9-adpt by AdoptOpenJDK and 8.0.265-zulu by Azul Zulu. I'm on Debian 10 Bullseye/Sid.



So far the error is always the same:

I will see if the Coretto Amazon JVM will help, and if it does I'll report back here.

It works now. Seems like the Coretto JVM by Amazon is the way to go:
h ttps://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-8-ug/generic-linux-install.html

Interested in what Coretto actually is:

(Sorry about links above: I'm a forum newbie and can't post links - just remove whitespace from the "h ttps")

Happy data mining!
