unable to register purchase in linux

Post by badperson »

Hi,
I bought oXygen today, and I bought the version that runs on win, mac and linux. I have a machine that dual boots linux and win7, and I wanted to be able to edit xml files in either partition.

I got everything going in windows fine, but when I launch oxygen.sh in linux, I get a message saying it's an unsupported version of the jvm.

I hit "continue" and then....and this is the annoying part...a swing metal window opens asking me to enter all my registration info, but I can't resize it, and I don't have any way to scroll to the bottom to hit "enter" or "submit" or whatever it is I need to hit.

What is the best version of the jvm to use under ubuntu 10.04 (amd 64 bit), and has anyone else run into the problem I described?
thanks,
bp

Hello,

The registration dialog problem in Ubuntu is caused by OpenJDK. Oxygen does not support open source JVMs(like OpenJDK), that's why you receive that "unsupported JVM" warning. If you use the "All platforms" distribution then you will also need a Java SE Runtime Environment from Oracle(formerly Sun): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... index.html

For Ubuntu 10.04 64bit, instead of the "All platforms", I would recommend using the Linux 64 bit installer distribution(oxygen.sh). This comes bundled with a Java SE 1.6.0_16 JVM which is used only by Oxygen so it is no longer affected by the the JVM installed on the system(OpenJDK or any other). This way you avoid any JVM problems in case the system JVM gets changed or updated.

You can download the Linux distribution from our site:

Linux tab, Linux 64 bit (Includes Java VM 1.6.0_16)
