My Os is 10.14.6 When I launch Eartquake Bulletin it bounces in the dock & quits. I'll send a crash report, if you could tell me were it would be located.
Please check if there is a log file in in /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Earthquake Bulletin/log
. You can attach it here if you want. If there's no log in that folder or the folder does not exist, please open a terminal window and launch java -version
to check if you have a suitable JRE installed. I just tried the application on macOS 11 with JRE 11. Thanks.
Here's the info:
java version "1.8.0_301"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_301-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.301-b09, mixed mode)
I also checked the Java Control Panel. It says"Your system has the recommended version of Java. Java 8 Update 311". Hope this helps.
I forgot to mention there was no folder in my home library.
It seems the application is not starting at all.
Please:
- make sure you downloaded the right package for your architecture (probably x86_64 based on you OS version);
- open a terminal window in the folder containing the app;
- execute
java -XstartOnFirstThread -jar Earthquake\ Bulletin.app/Contents/Resources/Java/EarthquakeBulletin.jar
The application should start or print an error.
Please launch the command omitting "execute"; the command is only:
java -XstartOnFirstThread -jar Earthquake\ Bulletin.app/Contents/Resources/Java/EarthquakeBulletin.jar
If you launch
ls -la
what you see?
You are in your home folder (~
) and Earthquake Bulletin.app
is not in that folder.
To make things simpler:
- download https://github.com/albertus82/earthquake-bulletin/releases/download/v2.3.1/earthquake-bulletin-2.3.1-cocoa-macosx-x86_64-app.tar.gz to your Desktop
- double-click the downloaded file so it unpacks itself; the Earthquake Bulletin icon should appear on the Desktop.
- open a terminal
cd Desktop
java -XstartOnFirstThread -jar Earthquake\ Bulletin.app/Contents/Resources/Java/EarthquakeBulletin.jar
You're welcome. Probably I figured out why the application won't start on your machine: the reason is that you tried to start the wrong version before.
Please open a terminal window and execute the following command (copy & paste it if you can't type the ~
symbol):
mv ~/.swt ~/.swt.old
Then launch the application double clicking the icon on the Desktop and let me know if it works.
I played with the app & got it working.]
