Ignition Server 7.8.5
RPi 3 model b
NOOBS 3.2
I am by far an expert with linux, but I have installed clients on RPi’s before with no problems. I installed a new version of NOOBS on my RPi which seems to have a better resolution which is good for my application of running clients and using the pre-installed VNC Server.
Problem I’m running into is after I have uncompressed the tar.gz and run the .sh I get the desktop icon. When I click on the icon ignition downloading screen pops up and starts downloading the project, but about four seconds in I get an Error Launching screen saying:
’
Error launching application:
NoSuchMethodError:
java.util.jar.Pack200$Unpacker.addPropertyChangeListener(Ljava/beans/PropertyChangeListerner;)V
I’m assuming there is a a file dependant missing, but I have no clue where to start.
What version of Java do you have installed?
That’s not going to work with an older version of Ignition. You’ll probably need Java 7 or 8.
Gotcha, I will start there. Thanks
I’m just getting this now as well, Ignition 7.9.5, Java 8 u161. I started up a client from another site on the same machine with no issues; it is running Ignition 7.9.12.

I’m getting this again on another machine when starting up the Designer… I’m not sure how I resolved it the last time I had it above 
Make sure you’re actually running/launching with Java 8 and not a newer version.
Java version is 8 u25x on that machine (can’t quite remember what number the x was)
How did you resolve this problem. I have the same issue with using Azul 8. I am not able to open designer and clients. I am getting the same error. I am using Ignition 7.6.7
Are you sure there's not another version of Java installed that is being used to launch?
Open a terminal and run java --version, what does it say?
Yes, We don't have another java version. It's only Azul
How are you launching? Is there a Java console you can open/enable somewhere? In Control Panel maybe? I can't remember how these old versions work.
What I see, Java is in system 32 folder. do you think this would be creating a problem. But I don't see Java in installed program and Features.
Maybe, and that looks like Java 7 and not the Java 8 you saw from java -version.
You should probably call support and let them take a look.
Check for a java path in the environment variables.
