Cannot start tomighty in Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity 2D

Hi,

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 yesterday and found that tomight 0.7.1 won't work with Unity 2D. However, it does work with Unity.

Here's the error messages I got:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.awt.AWTException: TrayIcon couldn't be displayed.

+1 on this issue !

Does it still fail on Unity 2D? I have switched away from Ubuntu 11 to Linux Mint (Gnome 3) so I will have to setup a virtual machine with Ubuntu 11 in order to check it out.

Hi,

I am not using Unity and Ubuntu 11.10 since it's not stable enough (changed back to Ubuntu 11.04 and GNOME 2 now). I tried to install 11.04 in VirtualBox and run tomighty 0.7.1 with OpenJDK 1.6.0_23 and still the same error.

Thank you :)

The tray icon does not work on Gnome 3 either.

I tried tomighty on Ubuntu 11.10 Unity and it's not working, either... (I tried both OpenJDK 6 and OpenJDK 7) Same error message.

Thank you!

Same here. The tray icon seems to be a general problem on Unity since other apps also show errors with that.

same issue

Same error here (Unity 2D as well as GNOME Classic on Ubuntu 12.04.1). Would be great not having to use Unity "3D" when I want to use tomighty. Works fine on standard Debian Squeeze's GNOME, though.

Had the same issue with Unity 2D on Ubuntu 12.04.2. A workaround is described here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tomighty/MOvHKgdDTH8/40KIbOeUnKwJ Note: I had to set the whitelist to ["all"] to make this work.
