SGD - Fails to launch applications

We are having a problem with SGD - we can not launch applications.
We have SGD 4.2 running on a Solaris 10 server.
We had SGD up and running good. However, we had several things occur and now it does not work. First we had to relocate our server due to building renovations. Then shortly after setting up the system in the new location, we had a hard drive fail. And unfortunately the sys admin guys did not have a good/current backup of the drive. We did however reload a backup that was about 9-months old. However it does not work correctly now.
We can bring up the main SGD web page, can login to the system, and see the applications and function set up in object manager. However when we try to launch an application it fails.
Looking in the error.log file we see a message "failed to open display"
However we can not see how SGD sets the display to enable the application to be viewed over the web connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

It is a good thing to have as much help as possible. One of the other SAs working on the problem entered his google search a little different and came up with this hit: (http://blogs.sun.com/malhar/entry/sun_secure_global_desktop_tarantella -- text below) that fixed our problem. Thought I would post it here for the next person who runs into the same problem.
Sun Secure Global Desktop (Tarantella) "DISPLAY variable not set" error message?
If you've been facing a problem with the erstwhile Tarantella, now Sun Secure Global Desktop (SGD), where you get don't see X applications opening up when you click the link, you're in luck.
I have the solution.
If you are fast enough to click on the "Show Details" button before the application loading window opens and then closes, you will see in the logs that the application cannot open because it finds that the DISPLAY variable is not set.
Also, if you read the documentation, you will see that the admin guide explicitly asks you to NOT set the DISPLAY variable which gets set automatically. So where's the problem?
What you need to do is this:
1. Open the /etc/rc.d/init.d/Tarantella script in your favourite text editor
2. Look for TTASSHCLIENT (this is usually commented out)
You will notice that the line will look something like this
#TTASSHCLIENT="";export TTASSHCLIENT
3. Uncomment the line
4. Add /usr/bin/ssh -X inside the quotes on the line to make the line look like this
TTASSHCLIENT="/usr/bin/ssh -X";export TTASSHCLIENT
And restart!
That's it. You're problem is solved. I accept your thank yous in advance

Java web start fails to launch application when java cache is off

I checked for other versions of jre but not using java cache didn't cause any problems.
I checked for the release note of update 19 but I have no clue.
Is there any way to launch java application without using java cache?

..I had a problem changing the cache location. The button for this action is disabled. I can't figure out how to enable it.On my system, it is enabled when the 'cache files' box is checked, and disabled when it isn't.
1) Without changing the location I assumed that deleting the cached files could be a similar job, so I clicked "Delete Files..." and deleted with all checkboxes checked.I am not convinced that would entirely clear the cache, but have done no specific tests to check.
2) I unchecked "Keep temporary files on my computer".So it was checked when you were trying to change the cache location?
3) Applied all the changes.
4) I launched your demo.
Result - It was launched without any prompt.
I revisited the page with the URL and successfully launched the app. again.The application launched just fine, but no prompt.
If you follow those (links and) steps I outlined exactly, does the file service demo launch twice for you?I'm sorry I don't exactly understand your question. .. Your description is enough to convince me that answer is 'yes'.
..I tried twice and it launched twice, but not twice at the same time(it launched once at a time).Surprise, surprise. That is the first mention in this thread of 'same time'/'simultaneously'. Care to share the other defining factors that you forgot to mention, or is guessing part of the 'fun' of helping?
But still I'm having problems with launching my application.
I assume that it could be jnlp syntax problem. The "main=true" subelement is missing.It is a good idea to validate the launch files of JWS based launches that are failing for any reason. For that purpose, I offer JaNeLA.
Having said that, a missing main='true' will not be detected by JaNeLA, since it is not a compulsory attribute. ..But check them anyway.

Acrobat 7 fails to launch after placed into Applications using the ARD 3

When I copy Acrobat 7 Pro to multiple clients using ARD 3 Copy items mode, Acrobat fails to launch. I have tried to use three different admin machines to copy and I get the same thing. The permissions are correct with Acrobat and on the machine. The copy mode works fine using ARD 2.2.
Has anyone experienced this?
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

We used the included PackageMaker application to create a simple install package of the Acrobat folder to get around this problem. Installed the package via ARD. Works perfectly.

Multiple Applications failing to launch in Mac OSX Mavericks

Hi there,
I recently updated my Mac Pro to Mac OSX Mavericks (OS X 10.9.2), and since that time, I have experienced multiple applications in my Adobe CC Subscription failing to launch. As a first step, I attempted to uninstall the applications so that I could reinstall them and see if that fixed the problem. However, when I go to uninstall the applications, I get the same message (crash report) that I get when I attempt to launch them, so I'm unable to uninstall the applications.
I'm not sure what the protocal is, or where I can send the crash reports to get a better idea of what is going wrong. Below I've listed a series of applications that are failing to launch, then the applications that are launching and running perfectly fine, along with some information about the computer I'm running on to see if the hardware might be out-of-date and adding to the problem.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer and I look forward to hearing from anyone that could provide some insight!

APP-V 5 SP1 - "Application Failed to Launch. This may be due to a network failure 0x0FD01B25-0000007B"

Hello all,I am having some issues with APP-V 5.
I am having particular issues with starting a packaged SIMS.net. I keep recieving:
"Application Failed to Launch. This may be due to a network failure 0x0FD01B25-0000007B"
...within a second or two of clicking on the app-v created shortcut for this software.
To clarify, I had this software working perfectly previously. I recreated this package due to a software update, but it fails to launch now. I started a new package from scratch as this is a complex piece of software with multiple installers to run etc.
To be honest, I keep seeing this error on other applications. At one point, nearly every published app returned the same error. I spent a day trying to diagnose but the following day, everything mysteriously started working again.
I have had a look on kirks blog & Tim Magan, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is a 'business critical application' (as they say).
Quick overview of my setup:
- Single Server configuration (Management, Publishing & SQL) on Server 2012 VM in 2012 Hyper-V
- Win 2000 Domain with 2003 DC
- Windows 7 Enterprise SP1
- SIMS.net Summer 2013 sequenced on 32bit following best practice guide
- Deploying to 32 bit machine
- Client settings pushed by GPO. Powershell execution policy set to allsigned.

RESOLVED: This error is caused by the "Program Files" missing from the "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\" folder.
Firstly, a big thank you Nicke. You may not have solved the problem, but you sent me down the road to resolve this issue.
After trying the step you mentioned, I placed the computer in an OU with inheritance disabled. From this point onwards, I deduced that it was actually a group policy issue.
In my environment, I redirect start menus to generated start menu. This is created using a powershell script to combine locally installed items and network items. This scripts deletes the content of the 'programdata' start menu (i.e all users start menu)
to prevent these items disrupting the start menu.
Now... The app-v packages were breaking because, the 'Start Menu > Programs' folder did not exist. If an empty 'Start Menu > Programs' exists, the packages work correctly.
I can only assume that the two packages that were working correctly - that I installed these for 'current user only', rather than 'all users'.
It seems a little silly to me that app-v should fall over for something so simple. However, you could argue that it serves me right for playing about with system files :)
Thanks again for the help.

Mail application fails to launch

The Mail application fails to launch on my iMac(late09 model/latest Lion loaded) and gives me this message - can anyone advise as to what I can do? I have already reinstalled the iMac Applications Install DVD to no avail.
Thanks
Baffled of Surrey, UK!!

Hi ...
Might be corrupted preferences ...
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.mail.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Try launching Mail. If that helped, move that .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
latest Lion loaded
With Lion 10.7 installed, apps can only be reinstalled using Lion Recovery. Not from your install disc.

Music application fails to launch

Music application fails to launch. When music app selected I get a blank screen and after about 20 secs it returns to the home page. According to settings all my musuic files are there. I did a restore and it seemed to restore it at frist but was very slow responding. I powered the unit down and when it restarted the music app would again fail to launch. I have s 32GB iPod with about 4-5 gb free. Any suggestions?

Try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPOd. Not from backup. The sync a couple of songs and try and then add more songs incrementaly.

App-V 5 The application failed to launch 0x0FD01B25

Hello,
I have App-V 5 deployed on a RDS Host Server (Windows Server 2008 R2). I have streamed one app to test (Google Chrome). The app loads and runs perfectly with the Administrator account, however when any user tried to load it, they receive:
The application failed to launch. This may be due to a network failure. Error code 0x0FD01B25-00000005.
In the event log this error is logged:
Process 15780 failed to start due to Virtual Filesystem subsystem failure. Package ID {fda69bb7-10bb-4cef-9ba3-480ca2260d0c}. Version ID {3b8dff55-f8fb-41dc-825c-60a419507543}. Error: 0xFD01B25-0x5
The user has read access to the network share containing the appv file (not sure if that is actually required). Ive tried making them a local admin on the RDS box without success.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.
Ben

Hi Dimanche,
When you say you fixed permissions on the share, what do you mean? Our share is everyone Full Control, but is secured via NTFS permissions (Admins and System full control). The OS makes the profile folder and assigns the appropriate permissions.
I have the same App-V issue. If I disable folder redirection, it works fine. With Folder redirection enabled to a network path it fails with the same error code mentioned above. Users can create folders within the redirected Appdata, and
all other apps are working fine with roaming profiles...
This Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS folders etc. etc. are also created successfully under Roaming Appdata fine...
My only thought is adding Creator Owner = Full, Everyone = List folder contents (this folder only) etc as per
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/274443?wa=wsignin1.0
In a previous environment I had another similar issue with MS Office accessing NTFS permissions - although the User had sufficient permisssions, the root folder permissions were too restrictive - when the Office app accessed the root folder (before the user
path), it failed.

Failed to launch JavaFX application with native bundle exe

Hi,
I have created a JavaFX application, and created its native bundle using Ant. When I am trying to launch application using Jar from bundle created with double click, it successfully launching my application. But when I am trying double click on MyApplication.exe (say), it throwing JavaFX Launcher Error *"Exception while running Application"*.
I have searched about this issue, I found about jre, so I did replace jre from *"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\jre"* to my application bundle folder -- *\bundles\MyApplication\runtime\jre*, then I tried to launch exe with double click, it successfully launched.
I have compared both jre, there are many missing jar, exe, dll and some properties files I found.
I have these environment settings -
JAVA_HOME -- C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10
JREFX_HOME -- C:\Program Files\Oracle\JavaFX 2.2 Runtime
Path contains an entry of C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin JAVA_HOME and JREFX_HOME are used as in my build.xml to take ant-javafx.jar and jfxrt.jar --
${env.JAVA_HOME}/lib/ant-javafx.jar
${env.JREFX_HOME}/lib/jfxrt.jarMy steps to create bundle are -
<target name="CreatingExe" depends="SignedJar">
             <fx:deploy width="800" height="600" nativeBundles="all" outdir="${OutputPath}" outfile="${app.name}">
                      <fx:info title="${app.title}"/>
                      <fx:application name="${app.title}" mainClass="${main.class}"/>
                      <fx:resources>
                           <fx:fileset dir="${OutputPath}" includes="*.jar"/>
                     <fx:fileset dir="${WorkingFolder}/temp"/>
               </fx:resources>
           </fx:deploy>
</target>What more needed in build.xml so that application launch correctly with exe ?
Thanks

You code is not dealing with the DACL access to Winsta0\Default. Only the LocalSystem account will have full access and the interactively logged on user which is why regedit is not displaying properly. You'll need to grant access to your user.
You also need to deal with UAC since that code is going to give you a non-elevated token via LogonUser(). You need to get the full token via a call to GetTokenInformation() + TokenLinkedToken.
thanks

Why would Launch Application fail?

I've created a workflow to launch a series of related apps. For some reason, one of these (OmniFocus.app) is generating an error message. All the rest work fine.
I created a new workflow with just that one command in it, and it still won't work. How can I debug this problem? I don't know where to start. Any suggestions? Thanks!

The message is:
*The action "Launch Application" encountered an error.*
Check the actions' properties and try running the workflow again.
No other app seems to make this happen.
And the Applescript command you suggested works perfectly.

AppleScript to mount network share & launch application fails on computers

Hi All,
I am trying to write a script that I can place in the dock that will perform two actions. The first action is to mount a sharepoint, the second is to launch an application.
I have been very successful at doing this on my iMac (Intel). The script works under any user.
However, I have a lab of 26 Mac Minis (Intel) and the script won't work!!
Here's my script (it's simple!):
tell application "Finder"
mount volume "afp://ok-xserve-01.mpcsd.org/Apps" as user name "[user]" with password "[password]"
end tell
launch application "Type To Learn 3"
Of course, I replace the items in brackets with their appropriate values.
I save the script as an application. When I try to run it on any of the Mac Minis, I get the following error message:
'"afp://ok-xserve-01.mpcsd.org/Apps" doesn't understand the <<event aevtmvol>> message'
I've tried it w/o "as user..." and also in the form of "afp://user:pass@server/share" but all returns the error message above.
I even logged in as the user on one of the lab computers, created the script, and it ran! As soon as I logged off and logged back in, it stopped working.
These systems, along with my iMac, are bound to an Open Directory & Active Directory, and authenticate via Active Directory.
I can log in as the lab user on my iMac, and the script will work every time I launch it. It'll work as any user on my iMac.
Any ideas? If you need more info let me know!
Thanks!!

Try putting in the command "delay 30" before the other lines. It delays the script for 30 secs...OSX needs to load before running the script

Finally able to get into the Calssic Webtop. I ended up increasing the file descriptors and rebooting. I then totally removed the package again and installed again.
I get a java i/o exception if I select the first desctop login, but I fI select the classic webtop, I can at least log in and get the display page of the applications avaialble. When I select an application, I get a server timeout and the app does not start.
Now, I just need to figure what the issues are now and resolve them.
