B4 linux install (upgrade?) hangs
« on: September 02, 2016, 08:55:11 AM »
Hi

I have an issue installing B4 after B3.  I'm installing linux x64 on a m/c connected to my m/c via "ssh -Y".  I'm installing a personal version so I'm not installing as root.  I installed B3 just fine into /home/jc/bin/se21b3 and it works with the display on a Pi 3 and the code running on a Ubuntu x64 server.  That was my 1st install of SE ever on that m/c.  Today I tried to install B4 to /home/jc/bin/se21b4 - this started OK and got as far as running license manager and then hung.  Killing vs_exe completed the install "successfully" but if I try to run vs itself it just hangs.  My B3 install is still good and works fine.

Regards

JC

This sounds like an odd config problem.

If you run b4 with a clean config, does it run?

bin/vs +new -sc /tmp/new-config-dir

Please zip up your config directory (.slickedit/21.0.0) and upload it to support.

Go to Url: http://support.slickedit.com

Enter 13908 for the case

Post here to let us know it has been uploaded

Thanks

No  "bin/vs +new -sc /tmp/new-config-dir" hangs in the same way it did without the options (B4).

Do you still want my config?

Will beta 4 run on any of your other Linux machines?

You could try manually copying "slickedit.lic" to your beta 4 bin directory.

Manually copying the license file seems to have done the trick.

Thanks

I believe this is not a new problem. I heard from support that there have been a few scenarios under Linux where the license manager dialog just won't run. We haven't figured this one out because we haven't been able to reproduce it. The good news is that there is a work around.
