GeoMajas doesn't work on first click

[camerons]

In osgeolive5.0beta5,

I click on the GeoMajas icon, a loading GeoMajas widget is shown, then the browser pops up at: ​http://localhost:3420/showcase

When this is first opened we get an error display, (as geomajas hasn't been set up yet).

If I wait ~ 10 to 20 secs, then reload the page, GeoMajas is displayed as you would expect.

I suggest adding a delay in the existing loading icon, to allow time to let the geomajas application to start up.

start up script is provided from the upstream install zip file, it must be fixed there.

closing #767 as a dupe of this ticket.

Geomajas seems to be not working at all now on osgeo-live5.0rc3 mini iso edition.

I select the "Geospatial -> Browser Clients -> Start Geomajas" It opens a browser at: ​http://localhost:3420/showcase But reports "Unable to connect"

[camerons]

Located the issue down to the startup script, which is downloaded as part of geomajas:

user@user:~$ /usr/local/bin/start_geomajas.sh awk: {print int(0.5+100*\$1/\$2)} awk: ^{backslash not last character on line awk: {print int(0.5+100*\$1/\$2)} awk:} backslash not last character on line failed to create drawable user@user:~$

Offending code is coming from the introduced delay clause:

DELAY=40

( for TIME in \seq \$DELAY\ ; do

sleep 1 echo "\$TIME \$DELAY" | awk '{print int(0.5+100*\$1/\$2)}'

done ) | zenity --progress --auto-close --text "Loading Geomajas"

Testing further on 5.0rc3, booting from an ISO in Virtual Box VM:

I notice that the previous geomajas start code is still in the start_geomajas.sh. I tried commenting out new, and commenting in old, then from the command line, running /usr/local/bin/start_geomajas.sh . Geomajas logs start coming out when run start_geomajas.sh (after ~ 2 mins) but loading ​http://localhost:3420/showcase in the browser still returns "Unable to connect".

When running top, the CPU load is running at 50% to ~ 75% (quite high) and memory at ~ 15%.

right, the '\' were in there as part of the

cat << EOF > start.sh

code in the other install scripts, which need backticks and $ chars to the quoted. The 7 \ in that script should be removed.

the script comes in from the upstream installer package, so must be fixed in the ​http://files.geomajas.org/release/geomajas-$GEOMAJAS_VERSION-bin.zip file.

thanks, Hamish

ps- put code within {{{, }}} to stop trac from trying to interpret it as markup.

5.0rc3 iso booted in qemu/kVM:

removing the 7 '\' from start_geomajas.sh corrects the startup timer problems, but when firefox does come up you get an "Unable to connect" ... "can't establish a connection to localhost:3420". url is http://localhost:3420/showcase/.

running start_geomajas.sh from a terminal prompt I see the following two messages:

failed to create drawtable

(firefox-bin:3973): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
 Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
 specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

?? Maybe those are important, maybe not.

I'm not sure if it works on the 5.0rc3 VM or not; still downloading that.

ah. I think I see the problem--

the older timer that was commented out also included the startup!

need to add

 /usr/lib/geomajas-1.8.0-bin/bin/startup.sh &

on a line before DELAY=40 in the /usr/local/bin/geomajas_startup.sh script.

that startup script comes from upstream not our build scripts, so we've got to wait for upstream to fix it.

I have changed the online script again to:

/usr/lib/geomajas-1.8.0-bin/bin/startup.sh & (echo "10"; sleep 4; echo "20"; sleep 4; echo "30"; sleep 4; echo "40"; sleep 4; echo "50"; sleep 4; echo "60"; sleep 4; echo "70"; sleep 4; echo "80"; sleep 4; echo "90"; sleep 4; echo "100"; sleep 4) | zenity --progress --auto-close --text "Loading Geomajas" firefox "​http://localhost:3420/showcase/"

This should give it 40 seconds to start up.

[hamish]

great. the attached startup script w/ 60sec delay works for me!

this issue appears to be fixed in RC6

[camerons]

Also verified as fixed in 5.0rc6, ISO in a VM with 768 RAM. Issue closed.
