[FIXED] Gephi 0.8.1 beta: Freezes on startup (MacOS 10.7.3)

[seppl12]

Hi,

I just downloaded Gephi version 0.8.1 beta (dmg). I can't start the program, because I freezes and looks like in attached screenshot. Status says "Opening Main Window...".

Java (there has recently been an update on MacOS):
On my shell I get:
>java -version
java version "1.6.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04-414-11M3626)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.6-b01-414, mixed mode)

Version 0.8 beta works fine!!!

Thanks for any hints.
Sebastian

hi,

Can you post the log file please?

Hi Admin,

Sorry for the delay.

I had a look at the log-file in "Library/Application Support/gephi/dev/var/log/" and gephi had a problem with the proxy configuration here at charite.

Code: Select all

INFO [org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.ui.actions.AutoupdateCheckScheduler]
java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 35: http://proxy.charite.de/wpad.dat%20

        at java.net.URI.<init>(URI.java:577)
        at org.netbeans.core.ProxyAutoConfig.<init>(ProxyAutoConfig.java:101)

In the settings of my mac (System preferences->Network->Advanced...->Proxies) I had selected "Auto Proxy Discovery". Now I have changed it to "Automatic Proxy Configuration"( and entered an URL) and everything works. I can connect to the internet and I can start gephi.

Do you think it is rather a problem with the configuration here at the hospital?

Best,
Sebastian

There is a bug with Netbeans (Gephi's underlying platform) and wrong proxy config. We'll deploy a bugfix very soon through the Auto Update, so that it would definitely not be a blocking problem. Thanks !

The fix has been deployed already. Can you please try to update your Gephi (Help > Check for updates) and let me know if it works now.
