[sleuthkit-users] Installation of autopsy 4.6.0 on Debian 9. Post-Install Problems

[Jeremy A. <je...@ar...>]

Hi,

I've installed autopsy-4.6.0-linux1 and sleuthkit-java_4.6.0-1_amd64.deb
on a Debian 9 host running Java 8

My config includes

  Product Version         = Autopsy 4.6.0

  Operating System        = Linux version 3.16.0-5-amd64 running on amd64

  Java; VM; Vendor        = 1.8.0_191; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.191-b12; Oracle Corporation

  Runtime                 = Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_191-b12

  Java Home               = /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre

  System Locale; Encoding = en_AU (autopsy); UTF-8

  Home Directory          = /home/jeremy

  Current Directory       = /home/jeremy/FAST/autopsy-4.6.0-linux1/bin

  User Directory          = /home/jeremy/.autopsy/dev

  Cache Directory         = /home/jeremy/.autopsy/dev/var/cache

  Installation            = /home/jeremy/FAST/autopsy-4.6.0-linux1/autopsy

                            /home/jeremy/FAST/autopsy-4.6.0-linux1/harness

                            /home/jeremy/FAST/autopsy-4.6.0-linux1/java

                            /home/jeremy/FAST/autopsy-4.6.0-linux1/platform


My problem is the application starts up but there is no way to create a
new case. The usual pop-up window is missing and the relevant buttons
are disabled.  I use autopsy and sleuthkit on Windows but for
operational reasons I need to run this application on a specific Linux host.

One odd thing I noticed was this message

WARNING [org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.ui.actions.AutoupdateSettings]: The property "netbeans.default_userdir_root" was not set!

Where should I look to resolve the problems?

As a secondary issue, I'd like to move all the working directories onto
an NVME drive (mapped as FAST). Is there some configuration file that
sets these?


Thanks
