I appoligize in advance if I'm asking this question in the wrong spot.

 

I have a controller setup that remotely manages several Omada networks (over 50). Typically, when I arrive to do an installation for a client, I would use the Omada Discovery Utility to streamline the adoption process - this is usually done from a Windows 10 laptop.

 

To simplify it, I'm not to happy with the direction Microsoft is going right now. I won't go into those details on this post though. However, in my effort to escape Windows, I am converting my laptop into a Linux machine to do these tasks (and many other on-site things). So far, everythings working great, but I can't get the Omada Discovery Utility to open. My skill set is based more towards hardware and programming networks - so I'm getting a little lost in trying to troubleshoot Java software - I've never really been a coder.

 

Basically, the error I recieve when I try to run the JAR file is:

 

"Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the conditions report re-run your application with 'debug' enabled.
2024-04-24 16:14:11.057 ERROR 6782 --- [           main] o.s.boot.SpringApplication               : Application run failed"

 

It's then followed by a plethora of errors, such as "ClassNotFoundException" and "NoClassDefFoundError" for various files. I can post exact details if needed - but I thought I probably shouldn't flood this first post with a page or two of errors.

 

I have tried the Utility versions 5.0.8 and 5.1.1 (both list Linux as a compatible OS). I have tried using various recommended versions of Java, such as 8, 11 and 1.8. I have tried Open Java and Oracle Java. I have tried running other Java applications on this Linux laptop to determine if Java is working properly, and they work without issue. I have also tried running the utility on Windows using Java to make sure my files aren't corrupt, and the utility works fine there - just not on this Linux machine. I haven't had a chance to try the Utility on a different distro of Linux yet.

 

Has anybody here gotten the Discovery Utility to work on Linux? If so, was there anything special you had to do, such as recompiling the JAR? Also, if you've made this work with Linux, what distro are you running?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Duble08 

Could you re-run the utility with the --debug option to get more detailed information about the error? And what about the log files, will it show any information about the failure?

Please also share how did you install and launch the utility, and provide some screenshots.

Hi @Duble08 

The Omada discovery utility is not fully applied to the Pop!_OS system currently. Since the Pop!_OS does not include OpenJDK-related packages, we recommend that you install the Oracle JDK and try again.

As detailed in my original post, I have tried various versions of both Open Java and Oracle. The screenshots I sent were with it running on the most recent version of Oracle Java. I have attached a screenshot with verification of my Java version.

 

The error message I receive is the same regardless of Java version I have installed or attempt to run the utility with. If there's a particular version of Oracle Java that I should be using instead of the most recent / updated one I currently have installed, let me know and I'd be happy to try it out and report back with the results.

Hi @Duble08 

We may suggest you to run the utility at version Oracle 8. Will it for you?
