#537 Ubuntu 13.10 global hotkeys activation 64-bit

[shantiq]

ok there first of all great piece of software love the lyrics artist info etc

Using it on Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit

and had problems with getting global hotkeys going

read this here: https://sourceforge.net/p/atunes/discussion/656585/thread/837931f2/#7c97

If you're over an x64 system, just install ia32 java and restart aTunes, then
the «enable hotkeys» option will activate. BTW, I see the answer in another
post over the forum.

modern version of this is

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre:i386

so did that

built my own thus

cd ~/Downloads/atunes-3.1.1
chmod +x ./aTunes.sh
./aTunes.sh (or just double click to run the file aTune.sh)

also tried the deb and 3.0.2

but everytime i get this message when loading up

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: You have loaded library /home/shan/atunes-3.1.1.DONOTDELETE/libJXGrabKey.so which might have disabled stack guard. The VM will try to fix the stack guard now.It's highly recommended that you fix the library with 'execstack -c <libfile>', or link it with '-z noexecstack'.
INFO 2014-02-09 09:02:01,055 No hotkeys supportednull
INFO 2014-02-09 09:02:01,060 Hotkeys are not supported

how to correct all this and make global keys appear? thanx shan

Hi,

check you are using the right virtual machine, according to warning message you are using 64 bit VM, but post says to run with a 32 bit VM

[shantiq]

hi fleax thanx for reply

sorry but i do not understand

i am running 64-bit ubuntu here
i added sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre:i386
so that global keys can be seen as only visible on 32-bit

so how do i make ubuntu pick 32 just for atunes

do i need to install virtualbox? i have never used that before

sorry i need more in depth advice not sure what to do next thanx shan

how to make system pick 32 bit VM

[fleax]

Make you you have a path like this:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java

That is the virtual machine you need. If so, change in aTunes.sh call to java, replacing with that full path, so you don't have to change your $PATH to test it.

[shantiq]

hi again is this what you mean? [sorry i am not very knowledgeable on java] i am not a programmer :]

maybe i misunderstand ... please be really simple and specific as i do not understand everything

thanx shan

Hi,

you only have to change the first "java" in that line, and keep the rest as is:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java Dsubstancelaf.windowRoundedCorners=false -Dinsubstantial.looseTableCellRenderers=true -Djava.library...

That should make aTunes run with 32bit java

[shantiq]

thanx fleax

so i changed to

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java Dsubstancelaf.windowRoundedCorners=false -Dinsubstantial.looseTableCellRenderers=true -Djava.library.path=./ -Xms128m -Xmx256m -splash:splash.gif -cp aTunes.jar:lib/* net.sourceforge.atunes.Main $args

but then it does not start and gave

cd atunes-3.2.0DONOTDELETE ; ./aTunes.sh
Error: Could not find or load main class Dsubstancelaf.windowRoundedCorners=false

i am on ubuntu 13.10 with Lxde DEnvironment if that helps understand situation

[fleax]

There is a missing hyphen before Dsubstancelaf.windowRoundedCorners=false

It should be -Dsubstancelaf.windowRoundedCorners=false

[shantiq]

Thanx now I see them ... thank you so much
Great Program good sound great features
