Can't open Serviio Console in Ubuntu 12.10

Hello all. I am new to Serviio and new to Ubuntu so sorry if this is a bad post. I have a Samsung SMART TV and have always used the Allshare program from Windows machines to view my media from my computer. It's always worked well. I decided to install Ubuntu 12.10 on a computer and use it as a media server. I installed Serviio and when I first installed it, the console opened and let me try to load some media. However, every since then, I can't get the console to open.

Now, being a complete newbie to Ubuntu, maybe it's just something silly, not sure. My TV recognizes Serviio so I know it's running. I just can't open the Console to be able to load videos/ music/ etc.. so my TV can play it. I've tried to search Serviio in the dash home and open it from the Bin folder with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Matt

the console just allows you to control settings for the server. You need to make sure the serviio service is running before you fire up the console.

Yes. Thank you. I did confirm that the service is running. I can see it on my TV but there are no files loaded to watch because I can't open the console to load files.

Thanks.

What happens when you try to open it?

Do you get an error message? Have you looked at the log file for error messages?

How are you launching the console?

[...]I installed Serviio and when I first installed it, the console opened and let me try to load some media. However, every since then, I can't get the console to open.[...]

Just find serviio-console.sh:

  Code:

$ locate serviio-console.sh

and run from the shell:

  Code:

$ sh /<path_to/serviio-console.sh &

From my terminal:

  Code:

rafszk@poligon:~$ locate serviio-console.sh
/usr/local/bin/serviio-1.0.1/bin/serviio-console.sh
rafszk@poligon:~$ sh /usr/local/bin/serviio-1.0.1/bin/serviio-console.sh &

Thanks for the reply. I don't get an error message. It just doesn't "do" anything. I've tried just going into the bin folder and opening the console.sh file with no luch. I've also run the commands in the terminal to start it up. I did dump the log and I have attached it here:

Thanks.

You are close to the answer. The problem is an incorrect path to the java
By what howto installed Java?

I recommend this article.

Thanks for all the help so far. I followed all instruction on installing Java and I still get this error. How can I change the path to Java in Serviio? Is there a config file or something that I can update my path to Java in?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I guess. Can you show the default Java?

  Code:

# sudo update-alternatives --config java

After change the settings, for sure - I restarts ubuntu. Maybe lame behavior, but oh well

Yours, the default is "* 2/1048 usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java manual mode".

Enter "sudo update-alternatives - config java" and select:

Confirm, reboot and tell us if my nightly click click thing helped;-)

I changed to the number 3 Java on the list with no luck. Not sure what to do now. How about uninstalling Serviio and Java and trying again? Any guides to doing this? Since I am new to Linux, I really don't know how to uninstall yet.

Thanks.

No ideas at this time. We'll wait - maybe someone wiser will speak.

Can anyone providea step by step on how to uninstall Java and Serviio and redo it the correct way? Obviously, when I installed them, something was done incorrectly.

Thanks.

You could just re-install Ubuntu and start clean ?
