[Esbox-users] cannot start esbox. starting esbox displays empty dialog on Ubuntu Karmic

[Ed.Swartz at nokia.com]

Hi,


After following the instructions for installing from the Product-Archives (http://esbox.garage.maemo.org/2nd_edition/installation_product.html) on Ubuntu 9.10, I am unable to start Esbox.

Executing esbox displays the workspace confirmation window. After acknowledgement, I see the Esbox splash screen displaying 'Loading Workbench'. But soon after that I get a blank window (attached).
I did set the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS variable and still no go.
[[ejs]] This error is different, unfortunately.   The startup screen for a new workspace uses a web browser component that depends on Mozilla's xulrunner.  In newer Linux releases, this xulrunner is 1.19 and incompatible with Eclipse.  You can apt-get install xulrunner to get a compatible version (1.18).  The latest integration releases should have an "esbox.sh" script inside which will find and use that version and work around this issue, as well as the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS one.
Hope this works!
