Easy-Install not working on Ubuntu

[michelB]

I have installed Easy-Install on my Ubuntu Linux computer and here is what it says when I launch it from the command line:

Am I missing a dependency?

After installing the easy installer, you must reboot the computer before using the easy installer

That’s not true and will not solve this problem.

Hi michel,

this sounds very similar to what is described in section “Unable to open DISPLAY (on Linux)” of

Howto troubleshoot issues with the easy-installer

General hints Please specify operating system and phone model In case you ask for help, please specify which operating system you are using and whether you try to install on FP3 or FP3+. If it’s an FP3, please also specify if you’ve done the update to Android 10 or if you’re still on Android 9. Where to find the log The installer creates a log file with a randomly generated name (e.g. 45761d08-711f-435a-881d-a236949654bb.log) that might contain useful information if something doesn’t work as ex…

If you are using wayland you need to run the installer in an xorg session (I don’t know how to do that, I don’t use Ubuntu/wayland).

Hi Ingo_FP_Angel, thanks for your help. I also tried using easy installer on my Windows 10 and it was not able to find the Fairphone. So in the end, I just went the harder way ie without using the easy-installer at all. Best, Michel

Just came here to report the same problem: Ubuntu 20.04, Xorg (ubuntu’s gnome or i3 wm)

~$ java -version
openjdk version "14.0.2" 2020-07-14
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 14.0.2+12-Ubuntu-120.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0.2+12-Ubuntu-120.04, mixed mode, sharing)

Any suggestion? I’d rather use the easy-installer

[Ingo_FP_Angel]

Can you be more specific?

Do you get Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unable to open DISPLAY

Or is it Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Internal Error

[rbauduin]

Sorry for being imprecise. Here is the complete error I get:

Ok, it sounds like this issue here

@Ingo_FP_Angel

If you are using wayland you need to run the installer in an xorg session (I don’t know how to do that, I don’t use Ubuntu/wayland).

The error in the first post of this topic turned out to be something different.

[rbauduin]

Damn, I had the DISPLAY error because I started it sudo. As a normal user I get the INTERNAL error discussed in this post, to which I’m switching now.
