Running Problems

  1. The Startup of the OT fails, or freezes with showing the Splashscreen. If the startup of the OT fails please try these ascendingly dramatic options:
    1. Delete the folder .almaot in your home directory, then retry.
    2. Delete .almaot , .acsjava and .jacorb_properties from your home directory. Retry.
    3. Reinstall the OT:
      • If using Java Web Start, open the Cache Viewer with <path>/javaws and remove ($=$ uninstall) the OT. Note that you may have to include the path when starting up javaws .
      • If you have a tarball installation, delete the installation folder
    In any case, please provide us with an error report about your findings.

  2. I'm permanently seeing dialog boxes ``your current look-and-feel causes an error''

    First try switching to a different Look-And-Feel in Options $\rightarrow$ Appearance . If that doesn't help, you're probably running a buggy version of Java. Please update your Java installation.

  3. I'm seeing ``text'' or ``nothing'' in the subwindows of the OT

    Your configuration files have probably been corrupted by a non-graceful shutdown of the OT. Delete the folder .almaot in your home directory, then retry.
