The spoon was working normally until an Ubuntu update was run. After updating the . / spoon.sh command don't start the application.

I accessed the update log and saw that it only updated things pertaining to postgresql as shown below:

    

Start-Date: 2018-08-17 08:26:45
    Commandline: aptdaemon role = 'role-commit-packages' sender = ': 1.364'
    Upgrade: postgresql-9.3: amd64 (9.3.23-0ubuntu0.14.04, 9.3.24-0ubuntu0.14.04), postgresql-contrib-9.3: amd64 (9.3.23-0ubuntu0.14.04, 9.3.24-0ubuntu0.14.04), postgresql-client-9.3: amd64 (9.3.23-0ubuntu0.14.04, 9.3.24-0ubuntu0.14.04), libpq5: amd64 (9.3.23-0ubuntu0.14.04, 9.3.24-0ubuntu0.14.04)
    End-Date: 2018-08-17 08:27:22

I downgraded the Postgresql version, but it did not work. It also excludes Postgresql and I reinstalled, but I was not successful, either.

  • Note: In addition to the Spoon, the Pentaho Report Designer also stopped working.

Would you have any idea of ​​the reason?

Thanks in advance.

  • I don't know how Unix systems work but, check system variables and paths that point to Pentaho related files or Java directories. – Cristian Curti Aug 17 '18 at 19:08
  • Hi @CristianCurti, thanks for the response. I also don't know the Unix System deeply. I tried to downgrade the postgresql version, but i don't find the version, i also tried to downgrade the Java version, but nothing happens. I really have no idea about what happens. – Danilo Santos Aug 17 '18 at 20:12
  • Redirect the spoon output in a file with `./spoon.sh > myfile.log` and publish this myfile.log. – AlainD Aug 18 '18 at 07:56
  • @AlainD, follow the output: `OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256m; support was removed in 8.0` However, when the spoon was working, this message is displayed in the terminal. – Danilo Santos Aug 20 '18 at 16:50
  • [SOLVED] Thanks all for the responses. I installed the java JDK **1.8.0_181** version and it work's. After install, i reboot the OS. Thanks again. – Danilo Santos Aug 20 '18 at 19:49
  • Happy for you. Oh, yes, Pentaho 8 requires java 8. It is specified in the release notes that nobody never reads, and the bug does not gives a clear message. As a habit dating of Pentaho 3.7, I install a specific java version on the side of each of my Pentahos. versions. – AlainD Aug 22 '18 at 06:32
  • Thanks @AlainD. It's a good idea what you do. What's interested is that i already have the java 8 installed, but after a package update this trouble starts. – Danilo Santos Aug 23 '18 at 11:44
  • There are a lot of hidden folders like .pentaho, .kettle,... They contain internal variables, references to temp directories and (most important in this case) the license. It is not impossible that a ubuntu upgrade changes changes those hidden directory. – AlainD Aug 27 '18 at 08:35
