Error: bash: jre/bin/java: No such file or directory (Step 3) I tried the solution 1 (Not working):

$ sudo apt install default-jre
$ java -version
openjdk version "17.0.7" 2023-04-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.7+7-Debian-1deb12u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.7+7-Debian-1deb12u1, mixed mode, sharing) 
$ which java
/usr/bin/java
$ usr/bin/java -jar xdman.jar
bash: usr/bin/java: No such file or directory
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/java /opt/xdman/jre/bin/java
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/opt/xdman/jre/bin/java': No such file or directory

Then I tried the solution 2 (Not working):

# cd /opt/xdman
# mkdir -p jre/bin
# ln -s /usr/bin/java /opt/xdman/jre/bin/java
# jre/bin/java -jar xdman.jar
Error: Unable to access jarfile xdman.jar

Error: Unable to access jarfile xdman.jar happened because xdman.jar is not available (missing).

I tried the last solution, solution 3 and still not working. Reinstall the XDM.

I also can't reopen the program from tray on arcolinux with gnome without killing it with system monitor first, i even have AppIndicator and Kstatusnotifier extension and it doesn't show on tray

[xandeale]

With gnome on xorg session, it shows up on tray if you use AppIndicator and Kstatusnotifier extension, however, it can only be left-clicked to maximize app.

I face the exact same issue on Debian 12. I run it from terminal, then I get the following:

However, running with root access appears to fix the issue (But it shouldn't need root access)

Thank you; the issue solved. But that's very weird, I get the same exception too:

Exception in NativeMessagingHostHandler ctor : System.Threading.WaitHandleCannotBeOpenedException: No handle of the given name exists.
  at System.Threading.Mutex.OpenExisting(String )
  at XDM.Core.SingleInstance.Ensure()

[ssembatyaisaac]

Has anyone been able to solve this issue I'm facing the same problem

[ZakeyJack]

@ssembatyaisaac I faced this problem on Debian 12 until 6 months ago. Then I give up. Now I'm just using XDM on Windows platform and it still works properly in Mozilla.

[xandeale]

It works better on cinnamon and xfce, the bug is with gnome desktop, it doesn't show background app running.

[ssembatyaisaac]

Thank you Going to try out xfce
