Hi All

I have created a .sh(script) file which executes a jar file.

When i run the sh file from command prompt, i am able to execute my jar file. But when i try to do it with the help of launcher it throws an aborted core dump error.

Can anyone help me out why i am facing the issue i tried using -Xmx and -Xms but with no success.

Any help will be appreciated

without knowing what this "launcher" is
there is not much anyone can do .
is this "launcher" a custom wrote *.desktop" file you wrote
or one that "À la carte" made

if so what is in it ?
what did you do to run the shell script , or extract the jar

Hi John

Launcher is "A la carte" made. Its a normal launcher created with the help of right click of mouse on desktop.

I have created a launcher to execute a script file when i double click on it. The script itself executes a jar which has used swings which creates a GUI.

My sh script runs fine when i execute it on gnome-terminal with the help of ./(script_name).sh command but when i do it with launcher it throws Aborted core dump error

that's the problem a possible malformed auto generated *.desktop file
and likely a miss configured shell script

when you double click it you do NOT need the rest of the needed code
this is an example for a program i use , a custom hacked version of Celestia

-- do to the needed hack, i need to run this program from the folder the exec is in , that issue causes a desktop file and menu item problems

two things
a shell script
then the desktop file

the shell script needs to cd to the folder the program is in !!!!!
-- that is needed ---
"QT4.Celestia5229.SVN.sh"
--- shell --
then the desktop file for this shell script
"QT4.CelestiaSVN5229.desktop"

the shell has to cd to the folder FIRST
then run the program
now your desktop file will be a bit different ( this is a KDE4 file)
and it needs to point to the shell script as the "exec" file

Hi John

I tried in the same approach as provided by you but to no success.

shell
code:

#!/bin/sh

cd /home/user/Desktop/Testing
java -jar -Xss10m simplejar.jar


Desktop File

code:

[Desktop Entry]
Categories=Application;
Comment=Script
Exec=/home/user/Desktop/Testing/script.sh
GenericName= Script.
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/apple-red.png
MimeType=
Name=script
Path=
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
Version=1.0


I Suppose my sh file and jar are correct because when i try to run it with terminal using ./script.sh command it executes fine. The problem only occurs when i double click the sh file or run it with launcher.

try this in the shell script
( missing the "./" )

mind you you might have problems when running programs on the desktop
-- Linux is not windows --


some desktop manages will not allow you to do that ,others can cause odd things to happen


you are better off just using the Desktop folder as decoration and for launchers

just use your home folder

Hi John

I tried moving it to home directory and run the script from there only but with no success
Its seems really weird as my script execution runs fine with command but not with double click

Naveen

is that a typo ?
I thought it WAS working on a double click


if not ("script.sh" is a bit of a bad name ,pick something a bit more descriptive )

cd to the location of the scriptand run
