Uhh....what?

Console? Is that like the terminal? And where am I supposed to put these files? Im a linux noob and don't know this stuff

I tried that command in termainal (chmod +rw -R ./RO_MAP/RO_MAP.jar) and it just returned the line with no message at all.

I'm still uncertain how to even properly run this or where to put the files... -.-''

Yes, console == command line == terminal. It has several names.

The command you ran changes the permissions for all the files inside the folder. You should do something like chmod +rw -R ./RO_MAP so it changes the permissions to read and write.

Then you should run the program by typing java -jar ./RO_MAP/RO_MAP.jar. It will most certainly fail again, but that way I can see the error logs (it will write a lot of text to the console, copy and paste it here).

The app may be failing because of

1. lacking a configuration file;
2. not having permissions to create or modify the configuration file;
3. a missing library doesn't let the parser read the file.
4. <insert something else I may be missing here>

That's why I need the error logs.

Here you go (yes, same error):

Got it to work, I looked at that code message and just copied the "files" folder from RO_MAP and stuck it in my home/kyrottimus dir and ran the .jar again.

Got a couple other error messages but the window still comes up and it works fine after that.

As I expected, there's a file missing... Well, really it can't find the file because it's not looking at the right path. It's a bug in the app, not Ubuntu's fault. :P

It looks for this: /home/kyrottimus/files/config.xml
And that file should be in: /home/kyrottimus/RO_MAP/files/config.xml

It does so because the app looks at the "./" dir (current working directory). When you start the app it believes it's working on /home/kyrottimus/RO_MAP, while it's really in /home/kyrottimus/. You can fix this making a startup script:

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/kyrottimus/RO_MAP/
java -jar ./RO_MAP.jar

Copy and paste the code above to a file called start_ro_map.sh (or whatever you want). Give it execution rights (chmod +x start_ro_map.sh) and everything should be working fine.

I'm trully sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks, that works better than just moving the files folder.

I wonder if it's possible to have a wallpaper image with this embedded that would update itself. The idea is to have it as a wallpaper, not as a separate application running.

Is it somehow possible?

If you use KDE as desktop environment, that would be possible as plasmoid.

1) Install "Scripted HTML"
2) Create a new file with *html extension, and copy&paste these lines of code in it:

<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
<img src="http://regnum-online.de/goodies/status8.gif" />
  <br>
  <img src="http://regnum-online.de/goodies/useronline8.gif" width="130" height="60">
  </body>
</html>

3) Add the plasmoid "Scripted HTML" to the desktop, go into its settings and give it the path of html page you made before.

That's all
