Hi @luoluo
Make sure you’re not using a headless Java version. I would recommend AdoptOpenJDK:
https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html?variant=openjdk11&jvmVariant=hotspot

Hi @flavoura,
I checked the environment and uninstall all the javaheadless* packages, and also downloaded the AdoptOpenJDK from the link you provided, but the error still exists.
it happens on centos7.5. 3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64

@luoluo Make sure that the correct Java is being used - check by running
java -XshowSettings:properties -version
You can see this issue for more details - seems like the older Centos might need a little nudging to get it working:

@flamber,
Thanks for your help. The error disappeared after installing xmanager

here is the detailed java version and properties:
Property settings:
awt.toolkit = sun.awt.X11.XToolkit
file.encoding = UTF-8
file.encoding.pkg = sun.io
file.separator = /
java.awt.graphicsenv = sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment
java.awt.printerjob = sun.print.PSPrinterJob

java version “1.8.0_211”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_211-b12)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.211-b12, mixed mode)

Regards,

@luoluo You might have downloaded AdoptOpenJDK, but it’s not installed correctly, since you’re still using Oracle Java 8. Anyways, you got it working, so that’s good.

@flamber you know, I tried Oracle Java 8 and AdoptOpenJDK , both of them will introduce that kind of error before installing xmanager.
some details:

am I right ?

Thanks,

@luoluo Okay, interesting. Must be something to do with Centos 7 or your specific setup.
