GaryK4 Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 (edited) Some time ago, the console would not load. I had to install IcedTea.web on windows 11. That kind of worked. It went directly into the console without using the Finder. The finder did not work with IcedTea. Now when I try to load the console an error message appears (XML Parse Error http://isy:80/desc. I did upgrade my java from 8 to OpenLogic-OpenJDK Build jdk17u). I don't go to the console often, but that may be the problem. After upgrading Java, I did not do anything with IcedTea. I tried manually loading the IoX finder and selecting the pull down menu Admin Console (LAN), but that did nothing (wheel spun, then closed). There must be a better way to run the console. Need third part software like IcedTea, every java update seems to break something. I don't make many changes, so it is always a pain to figure out how to get it running again. Side notes: I use Home assistant with ISY and many other devices and love it. I have Debian Linux running on a VM within Proxmox. Is it better to run ISY from there? It has OpenJDK 17.0.9 installed. IcedTea web is NOT installed and I don't know hot to install it yet or if it will work with OpenJDK and ISY. When I bring up the web app on Linux and select Admin Console, Java 2+ Required is diplayed. Will the new EISY have the same console startup issues? Edited January 18, 2024 by GaryK4 More info
Michel Kohanim Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 @GaryK4, Why would you need Icedtea-Web for Windows???? If you have problems with the IoX Launcher, please submit a ticket. With kind regards, Michel
GaryK4 Posted January 18, 2024 Author Posted January 18, 2024 From what i understand newer versions of java does not include javaws.exe. IcedTeaWeb added it back. What am I missing.
Solution Michel Kohanim Posted January 18, 2024 Solution Posted January 18, 2024 @GaryK4, What you need to install is this: https://www.java.com/en/download/ With kind regards, Michel
GaryK4 Posted January 18, 2024 Author Posted January 18, 2024 That is Java 8! Java is up to version 18. I do some software development and some features require the later versions. I don't know if I can have the old and new on the same computer.
Michel Kohanim Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 You can have both. With kind regards, Michel
GaryK4 Posted January 18, 2024 Author Posted January 18, 2024 OK, I got that to work. Had to tweak the environment variables a little. Thank, I am good to go.
