    Hi, I am in the process of setting up a HP xt595 with Andys Ham Radio Linux (A premade ubuntu iso, with lots of ham programs). I realized it didn't come with java after first downloading\trying to run YAAC, so I installed openjdk6. I now get this error when trying to run it, even on a fresh download.

    I tried to download and install it on my newer Linux Mint laptop - I got several errors when first trying to run it, so I just chmod 777'd it and it booted right up - but, this 'fix' did not fix the problem pasted above - also the errors were not the same on both laptops. Thanks for any information you can provide

    I'm pretty sure this got answered a long time ago, but for anyone perusing the discussions, here's the answer anyway:

    For some strange reason, the Java Runtime on Linux is partitioned into the core runtime, and the graphical (X-Windows-based) extensions that are also considered part of the core by Java, but not by Linux. So, installing only the openjdk-jre-headless component is not sufficient to run YAAC; being headless means that you have not included the graphics support libraries (Swing and AWT) needed to run YAAC. You need to install the full openjdk-jre package (of whatever version you are running) for YAAC to work.
