Error: "Spracheinstellungen geändert, Programm muss neu gestartet werden"

[Anonymous]

I am using Ubuntu 13.04. Other Java programs are working.

I tried both HelloNzb 1.2.2 and 1.2.1. Both have the same problem in my computer:
The start works fine, then I want to make the settings. I can enter the settings. When I want to same them, I get the error that I wrote in the subject.
After restart, all settings are gone, nothing was saved. I can't use HelloNzb because there are always only empty settings.

What could be the problem? Thank you!

Hello and thanks for your bug report. I have tested it now on my Linux dev machine with latest HelloNzb version from sourceforge and it works fine here. Can you please check the contents of the following file, before you start HelloNzb, and after you start it and set it up. Does this file contains the values you have set in the application preferences?

cat ~/.java/.userPrefs/me/mabra/hellonzb/prefs.xml

When I change some settings, the file prefs.xml is changed (I saved old version as prefs-old.xml and made a diff):

nick@earth:~/.java/.userPrefs/me/mabra/hellonzb$ diff prefs-old.xml prefs.xml

Here is prefs.xml with some settings, for example DownloadDir:

  <entry key="ServerSettingsUseSSL" value="false"/>
  <entry key="ServerSettingsUsername" value=""/>
  <entry key="UsageStatsSettingsActivate" value="false"/>
</map>

The file is not read on next start of HelloNzb.

When I open and close HelloNzb, the whole file is resetted:

nick@earth:~/.java/.userPrefs/me/mabra/hellonzb$ cat prefs.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

  <entry key="ServerSettingsUseSSL" value="false"/>
  <entry key="ServerSettingsUsername" value=""/>
  <entry key="UsageStatsSettingsActivate" value="false"/>
</map>

So the file is accessed, but something in the load/save process is not good. I have Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit.

Have you tried setting the hostname in the "Server Settings" preferences?
HelloNzb checks for this value to see whether a config has been made.

If you set the hostname, save the prefs., and restart the application,
is that server hostname than be restored correctly?

Thank you, now it's working :-)
The problem was very simple: I didn't realize that "Server Name" ist just a description, and that in "Host" must be written the full news server address. It's not really self-explanatory.
Thanks for your help, and maybe you can write some "tooltip" or small help on these two values.
Cool software!

Great to hear it's working for you now :)
