Client not starting about torrenttunes-client HOT 9 CLOSED

Hrm, my guess is that for some reason its not playing niceley with your default browser.

Do this to make sure torrenttunes is dead:
pkill -f torrenttunes

Then load up your browser first.

And try running the launcher again.

Ah I forgot, browser is Firefox 40.0.3. I had the browser started first, but tried it again with your instructions and it didn't help.

Can I somehow access the GUI manually in the meantime?

from torrenttunes-client.

Yep, the GUI is a local html file, located at:

/home/your_user_name/.torrenttunes-client/src/web/html/main.html

from torrenttunes-client.

This worked, although I have to reload the site really fast after starting the jar, or the jar will just shut down.

Also, icons are now missing. It's probably a cache problem (it works in Chromium). Strg + F5 didn't fix it though.

The icons are a problem in firefox for me, and I can't figure out how to get them to work without adding a security exception in firefox.

For some reason, firefox is the only browser that has strict security limitations on local fonts, and so any local application using font-awesome doesn't work, unless you turn off a security feature. I tried to complain in the mozilla forums about this, but was pretty much ignored.

Here's a workaround:

I might have a fix for this in an upcoming release, I'll make a new issue for it.

from torrenttunes-client.

Can you run this line, and see what default browser your OS has?
sudo update-alternatives –config x-www-browser and also
sudo update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser

from torrenttunes-client.

They are both set to /usr/bin/firefox. Also, Zeronet and Syncthing open the browser correctly, just like xdg-open some.html.

Ah I finally am figuring out why this isn't working right. Turns out the java Desktop class I'm using here only works for GNOME/Windows/Mac osx, and wasn't built to support KDE.

I'll use a new version that does support KDE from some info from here:
