Java exception when starting up

[MrWeedster]

Hi.

When starting beechat following the instructions, i get the following java exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: begin 0, end 2, length 0
        at java.base/java.lang.String.checkBoundsBeginEnd(String.java:3319)
        at java.base/java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1874)
        at com.digi.wck.beechat.MainApp.main(MainApp.java:219)

I have all the prerequisites installed in the right versions, but it keeps throwing this error.
What i’m doing wrong?

Update: This seems to affect the 64Bit installation of Linux. With an 32Bit installation the startup works.
When generating the keys, i get an exception regarding missing rxtxSerial.so.
So i had to install librxtx-java and now it works

Hi, I am using a 64 Bit installation and it works for me. Does it work with your 64 bit system after installing librxtx-java?

[MrWeedster]

Hi.
After installing rxtx i get the same error. I tried on OpenSUSE LEAP 15.1 and Centos 7.7.1908

BeeChat works with Debian-based systems for now. That’s what I coded it in at least. Any particular reason for using those OSs for BeeChat?

[MrWeedster]

Well i have existing linux machines utilizing these OS’es. I setup 2 Mint VMs and can use beechat in there as far as startup goes

Great to hear. In case you run into any more trouble please let me know and we’ll try to figure it out together. I hope you can get it fully running!
