Ubuntu: "Installer User Interface Mode Not Supported"

Post by johnkaufi »

Hi there,

I'm trying to install the latest version of CmapTools on Ubuntu 14.04.

My system:
Computer: Lenovo U330P
RAM: 8 GB
HDD: 256 SSD
Ubuntu 14.04 LTR with latest updates
OPEN JDK Java 7

Code: Select all

chmod +x LinuxCmapTools_v6.01_02-25-15.bin
was successful

Code: Select all

sudo ./LinuxCmapTools_v6.01_02-25-15.bin -i GUI

does not bring up the installer interface.

Code: Select all

Preparing to install...
Extracting the JRE from the installer archive...
Unpacking the JRE...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...

Launching installer...

Graphical installers are not supported by the VM. The console mode will be used instead...
=======================================================
Installer User Interface Mode Not Supported

The installer cannot run in this UI mode. To specify the interface mode, use the -i command-line option, followed by the UI mode identifier. The valid UI modes identifiers are GUI, Console, and Silent.

=======================================================

@j-lenovo:~/Downloads$
replacing -i GUI with -i Console doesn't help and yields the exactly same result.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
John

Verify if you are downloaded the correct installer for your system:

LinuxCmapTools_v6.01 _02-25-15.bin for 32-bit Linux or
Linux64CmapTools_v6.01 _02-25-15.bin for 64-bit Linux

If you don't know whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit, open a Terminal or shell window and type the command arch. The arch command displays whether the system is 32-bit ("i686") or 64-bit ("x86-64").

Download again the installer:

LinuxCmapTools_v6.01_02-25-15.bin, the correct size in Linux is: 156.8 MB (156,764,848 bytes).
Linux64CmapTools_v6.01_02-25-15.bin, the correct size in Linux is: 155.3 MB (155,323,081 bytes).

Thanks! The reason that the installer didn't work was that I downloaded and tried to install the 32-Bit version on my 64-Bit Ubuntu 14.04.

SOLVED!
