You have Version 0.97g which is from 6 years ago and I doubt it would install properly in a recent version of Java (a lot of depreciated code was removed). This does not explain this error though, it sounds like some thing is missing either in java or linux libraries.

A questions:

• Do you use other Java screen based programs ??
• Which Java install option did you use (if you can remember) - so I can test it

---

The first thing to try is to download the latest version of the RecordEditor and let me know how that goes. It may solve the issue

The error is occurring when java is trying to initialize the GUI. If you do not normally use java you may have a Server (headless) version of java installed (which does not include the java gui code).

I am planning to install ubuntu and test this but my back is playing up and I do not to sit in front of a computer at the moment.

If I am write one of the following may solve the issue

sudo apt install default-jre

or installing the jdk (developer version)

sudo apt install openjdk-16

I am not quite sure what is in the ubuntu these days.

I will test this when I get a chance

• I installed java headless version and got the error,
• I then installing default-jre and still got the message
• I tried installing default-jdk - same message

• I tried java-11 -still same error message

• Also tried other java Gui programs - still same error message

This is a problem with the java install

Will need to investigate further
