muCommander doesn't start

[TobiX]

Hi

I was about to check this new Orthodox File Manager (because I need one for MacOSX and couldn't find any) but it doesn't even start!

I downloaded the 0.6 sit file, extracted it and double-clicked the application... nothing happens. Better yet, you can see its icon in the dock for a fraction of a second and then it disappears. I tried copying it into the Applications folder and launching it form there, but nothing changes.

Is there something wrong with my setup? (Mac OS X 10.2.8, all Apple updates intalled including Java ones, no other JVM installed)

What can I try?

Hi Tobix,

Interesting to say the least, thanks for reporting it. 0.6 has been tested both under Jaguar (also 10.2.8) and Panther.

Could you please open the Console app (Applications -> Utilities -> Console) and copy/paste any message that appears during muCommander (failed) startup ?

And if anyone else got the same problem, I'm interested!

Thanks a lot,
Maxence

Sure. Only a single line:

${date} ${host} WindowServer[468]: ERROR! execle(${path}/mucommander.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub) returned, err=22

^^^ obvious details hidden with ${stuff}


If there's anything else I can do, feel free to ask. I'm pretty confident with UNIX stuff, so if you need a redirect, a ptrace, whatever... just ask.
I'm just not as skilled in MacOSX and/or Java programming or else I'd figure out by myself what to do next!

Thanks a lot! Some else (Dac) has reported a similar problem, with a different trace though.

I have updated the .app package, with Panther dev tools. Could you please download it and let me know if it works any better ?

If it does, I will update current 0.6 version.

Thanks,

I have updated current download file with this new .app . Hopefully this will solve the startup problems you had.

This is not a problem of MuCommander !

Its a prob of stuffit which messes up the rights-management with archives that contain an OSX app-file

make sure to install the latest version of stuffit or open it in the the stuffit deluxe prog window and not by right mousebutton/unstuff.....

tdMf!

After I launch it I get the program window but before I can take control
of it a blank window appears with simply a "Quit" button in the lower
rightmost corner and i can't do anything else than acknowledge and
quit , MuCommander 0.5 who had same requirements works.

I have MacOsX 10.1.5 and i'm not a wizard

Thanks for your attention

It's me again, here is the Console output:

Hi Lanch,
Thanks a lot for reporting the problem. I don't have any way to test muCommander under 10.1, but based on the error log you sent I should be able to issue a fix.

I'll reply here as soon as I have something for you. If you give me your email address, I can send you an email too.

Cheers,
Maxence

PS: I will spare you the 'you should upgrade to Panther, it's good' :)

[wickedmind]

Could you please make version 5.0 available?
maybe something to do with the new panther libs you used?

Or if it is stuffit... could you make a dmg?

Anyway i love this little app.

greets.

Ehr, MuCommander 0.6 wasn't working under 10.1 but i finally managed
to get it up and running, i've had to go thru all updates until 10.1.5 and
then update the Java machine to 1.3.1 by using the Preferences's
built-in Software Update menu. Now it works fine!

[paoluccial]

in the beginning the program worked regularly, then to the unexpected one once it has gone in crash and from that moment it has not worked. Can you help me? version 0.8 b2
