DeadlineLauncher.app not launching

When I’m trying to run the DeadlineLauncher.app it refuse to start. Just bounces in the doc.
Is this a known issue?

cheers

We can’t reproduce this problem here. Have you always had this problem? If it just started happening, try rebooting the machine to see if that helps.

That’s odd, I’ve tried on three different macs.
It use to start, I’ve enven tried to reinstall beta 1 to see if I could get it to launch with an earlier version.

I’ve tried restarting my system.

Here’s what I get if a lunch it thru the terminal:

Last login: Mon May 16 18:56:43 on console /Applications/Deadline/Resources/bin/deadlinelauncher ; exit; fs-mbPro:~ Fredrik$ /Applications/Deadline/Resources/bin/deadlinelauncher ; exit; System.Net.Sockets.SocketOptionName 0x1b is not supported at IPv6 level Gtk not found (missing LD_LIBRARY_PATH to libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0?), using built-in colorscheme Deadline Launcher 5.0 [v5.0.0.44528 R] Launcher Thread - Launcher thread initializing...

Strange. Just to confirm, when you run it through the terminal, does it start up properly?

Also, I should have mentioned this, but if you have Mono 2.10 installed (which I think you do), then the client installer would write out corrupted app package scripts because of an encoding problem. This affected the ability to double-click the app package to run the applications. This was fixed in the pre-release version. If you haven’t done so already, please run the client installer for the prerelease version and see if that helps anything.

No, it refuses to start from the terminal as well.
I got Mono 2.10 and the pre-release installed.

Based on the output from the terminal, it looks like it’s running properly. I wonder if it’s running in the background, but the UI simply isn’t showing up. Can you check the Activity Monitor to see if a deadlinelauncher process is running? If it is, it could be that the UI has been disabled:

See the docs that talk about the “LaunchLauncherGuiOnStartup” property.

That’s odd, I’m sure I did enabled that option at install!

Working now!
