Jalbum does not start on Manjaro Linux

Hi,

after some month i startet Jalbum which informed me about an update. I used the latest zip File, but it does not start any longer. Going back to an older version did not help. It might be that my Java installation is faulty, but i don't know what to do now.
System is Manjaro Linux, java is Open JDK 13.0.

JavaFX is installed, starting with full path says:
[hph@hackbrett4 ~]$ /usr/bin/java --module-path /usr/lib/jvm/java-13-openjdk/lib/ --add-modules=javafx.graphics,javafx.swing,javafx.web -jar /home/hph/Programme/jAlbum/JAlbum.jar
Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.LayerInstantiationException: Package jdk.internal.jimage.decompressor in both module java.base and module jrt.fs


Any hints?

Above output is from JAlbum 18.4, but the newest version brings the same messages.

This is also true for Arch Linux, so I hopefully join this thread.

In my installation there is:
extra/jre-openjdk 13.0.1.u9-1
extra/jre-openjdk-headless 13.0.1.u9-1
extra/java-openjfx 13.u14-1

... so it should work. Going to java-8-openjdk makes jAlbum start, but afterwards I get problems with skins that need newer Java versions.

So I hope we can nail the problem here ...
Besides: It's version 19.2 of jAlbum.

Best regards
Stephan

Hi hp-bilder, your --module-path should point to the "lib" folder of the JavaFX SDK and not the main Java's lib folder. On my Mac I use --module-path=/Library/Java/javafx-sdk-13/lib. You can get the JavaFX SDK from https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/
(Go for the SDK, not the JMODS format for your platform. The JMODS format is for linking your own runtime.

Your problem is different. The startjAlbum-sh file of the zip archive will only work if you either use a Java that is pre-linked with JavaFX (our bundled ones are) or manually refer to the "lib" folder of the OpenJFX SDK via a --module-path parameter. You also need to use the --add-modules and specify the 3 JavaFX modules that jAlbum relies on. For a complete example from my Mac, see here:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java --module-path=/Library/Java/javafx-sdk-13/lib --add-modules javafx.graphics,javafx.swing,javafx.web -Xmx2000M -jar ~/Projects/JAlbum/JAlbum.jar 


I'm sorry it has become so complicated, but Oracle decided to make the JavaFX module, which was part of Java, an external module. For the non zip releases we bundle a pre-linked Java. With that one, there is no need to fiddle with --add-modules and --module-path.

If you like to roll your own pre-linked Java to run jAlbum on, you can use the jlink command. Here's how we pre-link the Linux Java using jlink:
#/bin/bash
VER=13.0.1
JDKPATH=jdk-${VER}
JREPATH=jre-${VER}-mini
rm -rf ${JREPATH}
 
${JDKPATH}/bin/jlink -J-Xmx4g --strip-debug --module-path ${JDKPATH}/jmods:javafx-jmods-${VER} --add-modules java.base,java.compiler,java.datatransfer,java.desktop,java.logging,java.prefs,java.scripting,java.xml,javafx.base,javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.graphics,javafx.media,javafx.swing,javafx.web,jdk.dynalink,jdk.internal.le,jdk.jsobject,jdk.scripting.nashorn.shell,jdk.scripting.nashorn,jdk.xml.dom,jdk.unsupported.desktop,jdk.charsets,jdk.localedata,jdk.crypto.cryptoki,jdk.crypto.ec,java.management --output ${JREPATH}

Thank You very much! Now it is up and running.

It was not completely easy though, as there was one further problem. jAlbum first didn't want to start due to a collision with jrt-fs.jar which was within the openjfx-module-directory.
So I copied all necessary openjfx module files into the (from me created) 'modules' subdirectory in the jAlbum-programm directory and adapted the starting command.

I know: it's the 'I'm hammering it into the computer' method, but it works for now. I'll have to keep an eye on it. Maybe I'll get it done in a better way.

For now I'm happy. :)

Best regards
Stephan

I was not yet lucky (tried with oracle and older versions). I will now try what you all proposed, which is in line with the reply i got from the same question in the Manjaro forum:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/java-installation-faulty-jalbum-does-not-start-anymore/118938/5
I will try over the weekend and - if it works - will tell you.

BTW: any chance to get an appimage for Linux?

Following an advice from the Manjaro forum, i downloaded Liberica Java (https://bell-sw.com/pages/java-13.0.1/, renamed ib/jrt-fs.jar and jAlbum starts again. A short test, modifying an existing album, build an upload, worked fine. So for now i can work again.

There however some error messages on the command line:

That's not an error. Those are just warnings about a future direction of Java development.

Never considered using an appimage. Both the bundled and packaged as well as the zipped versions run without further ado on all Linux versions I am currently testing on my machines:

 erlangen:~ # os-prober
/dev/nvme0n1p1:Fedora 31 (Workstation Edition):Fedora:linux
/dev/nvme0n1p2:openSUSE Tumbleweed:openSUSE:linux
/dev/sda1:Manjaro Linux (18.1.3):ManjaroLinux:linux
/dev/sda2:openSUSE Leap 15.1:openSUSE:linux
/dev/sdb2:Arch Linux:Arch:linux
/dev/sdb3:SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP3:SLED:linux
/dev/sdb6:Ubuntu 19.10 (19.10):Ubuntu:linux
erlangen:~ # 
Users may consider to modify their program starters: https://jalbum.net/help/en/Manuals/Users:kmistelberger/Installation#Invocation

The zipped version requires installation of JavaFX: https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/

Thanks for replying,
but as said in a previous mail, i was out of luck with Manjaro java. But using Liberica Java, it runs. I don't blame the jalbum developers, it might be my fault. And yes, i tried your starter tipp and in fact use it for the new java installation.
Appimage would have the advantage that the developers can provide a well tested version which runs on any recent Linux, no need to provide rpm or deb versions and thus, effort is less. Download size however is larger.

Liberica is reliable stuff. The folks at Bellsoft are offering great services: https://bell-sw.com/pages/services/

An alternative solution is using pacman to install package java-openjfx.

Appimage would have the advantage that the developers can provide a well tested version which runs on any recent Linux

Appimages do run on pretty every recent distribution. However contrary to popular belief they are not well tested. They are a crude trick to skip system integration and they are harmful to maintenance.

Download size however is larger.

Download size is only the tip of the iceberg. Running several appimages at the same time will cause disk cache trashing.

Appimages should be considered as a perfect temporary workaround for packaging problems.

Hi,
with the zip version from jAlbum v22.1 I get following error message:

I use Manjaro version 20.2 with the following Java packages:
a) local/jre-openjdk 14.0.2.u12-1
b) local/jre-openjdk-headless 14.0.2.u12-1
c) local/java-openjfx 14.0.2.u0-2

I could find jAlbum in the AUR repository in version 16.2 (e.g. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jalbum/).

Best regards
Gerald

This error occurs if JavaFX is missing from Java. If you want to run the zip version, then you must bake support for JavaFX into your existing Java prior to running jAlbum on it. It's a bit complicated, that's why we've done it for you with the .deb and .rpm archives. Can't you use any of these archives?
