Anyone running the Linux version of Woopra?

(59 posts)
  • Hello there.

    Is anybody running the Linux version of Woopra? I tried on my Kubuntu laptop, and it didn't work. I know that "it does not work" means nothing to you without error messages, detailed configuration, Java version, etc., but I just wondered if anybody got it running, and whether she found any pitfalls, issues, anything! My laptop is not my main machine, but it'd be nice to run Woopra there!.

    A Linux installation guide would be quite nice, too ;-)

  • Thanks for noting that.

    I have it running on Ubuntu. I want you to try to install it from Shell as root.

  • I'm running it on Ubuntu (Hardy Heron) as well, and it works fine.

    As far as I recall I just downloaded the shell and ran 'sh woopra_unix.sh' (without the ') in the terminal.

  • OK, at least now I know I tried it correctly :-)

    I'll try again and get back to you with the details later this week!

    I just downloaded the latest linux release, and am getting the following error. I tried running as root with identical results. There is a comment about downloading the file in binary mode, but I'm assuming firefox automatically sets the transfer mode correctly...

    $ sh woopra_unix.sh

    gzip: sfx_archive.tar.gz: not in gzip format

    I am sorry, but the installer file seems to be corrupted.
    If you downloaded that file please try it again. If you
    transfer that file with ftp please make sure that you are
    using binary mode.

    I wrote tech support yesterday but haven't heard back. Maybe if everyone writes in we'll get this fixed.

  • I can't install it either - the file just looks a bit funny and it even tells me permission denied when I try it as root - very strange.

    The offset for tail is wrong. And even when you correct it, it's corrupted anyway. install4j.class is missing as well.

    Maco's right, doesn't look like there's anything we can do until they fix this problem.

    It would be nice to have an ETA.

    Ditto on the corrupt file issue. Hopefully more posts will lead to a quicker fix! :)

  • Guys, delete .install4j from your home directory then run the installer from shell as root.

    The installed can be found on http://static.woopra.com/woopra_unix.sh

    That should solve the problem.

    No luck with that solution, fusion. There is nothing by that name in my home directory.

    Man, I was going nuts trying to figure this out. Thank goodness it's not me.

    No luck for me either fusion. There is no .install4j in my home directory or anywhere else on my system.

    Same problem here. I would really like to give this a try.

  • Adding a "me too" to this post. After several downloads of woopra_unix.sh I have been receiving the same error message as rellik.

    Me as well; both on Linux and OS X, just for good measure (I thought I'd try it with SoyLatte).

    Try this:

    wget http://static.woopra.com/woopra_unix.sh
    sudo su
    chmod +x woopra_unix.sh
    sh woopra_unix.sh

    I was having the same problems and after doing this it's working nicely.

    Bruno,

    Still getting

    gzip: sfx_archive.tar.gz: not in gzip format

    I am sorry, but the installer file seems to be corrupted.
    If you downloaded that file please try it again. If you
    transfer that file with ftp please make sure that you are
    using binary mode.

    Have you used wget to get the file?

    I was having exactly the same problem and it's working now.

    Probably, the browser corrupts the instalation file.

    Try downloading with wget instead of the browser.

    I did bruno. Could it be something in ubuntu?

    I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, fresh install (just installed development applications).

    wget should download it as application/octetstream
