drich Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Is anyone else having issues with the admin console after upgrading to Java 1.8.0_261? I am getting prompted for the login every 30 seconds or so, which makes it impossible to do anything. I ended up installing Java on my Windows 10 server that runs BlueIris just so I could access the admin console. I have tried all of the usual Java tricks -- I've cleared the cache, re-downloaded the start.jnlp file, increased the allocated memory as suggested in the 5.0.1 release notes, and even rebooted the ISY. I'm seeing this in both 5.0.16C and the new 5.1.0 that I upgraded to this morning (from Windows since I couldn't get a backup on my Mac).
Whitehambone Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 I am running Mac OS 10.15.6 and Java 8 261 without any problems. However I have seen this reported before in another topic. If you read back through the post, he or she had one Mac that worked after the update and one that did not. Also they found this:
drich Posted August 11, 2020 Author Posted August 11, 2020 Nice find, thanks! This is yet one more thing for me to hate in Catalina. I've lost track of the number of apps I have had to re-download and install because they can't read or write my Documents or Downloads directory.
drich Posted August 25, 2020 Author Posted August 25, 2020 Just in case anyone else runs into this, I can confirm that downgrading to Java 8.251 fixes the problem. You have to manually remove 8.261 first: sudo rm -fr /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin Password: sudo rm -fr /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefPane sudo rm -fr ~/Library/Application\ Support/Oracle/Java And at least in my case, I had to log into the admin interface twice - it appears it had to install itself before working properly.
