Cannot start Intel XDK in ubuntu 12.04

[Arjun_k_1]

I installed Intel XDK in ubuntu 12.04 (32 bit). But i cannot start the XDK by clicking the Icon.. The s/w is not starting

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

Try installing it as "user" rather than as "root" or "sudo" -- sometimes people have permission problems with those other two installs.

[Arjun_k_1]

i tried it by installing it as normal user. still i cant start XDk. i cant find the icon itself.

my system is ubuntu 12.04 - 32 bit

To find the icon, did you try using the Ubuntu search tool at the top (I can't remember it's official name). Type in XDK in that and it should find the installed packages. If not, the startup is effected by running the "xdk.sh" script file that is stored in the XDK directory, which, in the case of a local user install, is located within your home directory. I'm not sure precisely where, but do the following to find it:

$ cd ~
$ find . -name xdk.sh

The xdk.sh file you find is what you need to run to start the XDK.

even after executing the xdk.sh, the software is not starting. please help...

Arjun, I have an Ubuntu 13.04 virtual machine on which I've done a fresh install of the most recent version of the XDK (2548). Mine is a 32-bit version of Ubuntu, so I've installed the 32-bit version of the XDK (make sure you've downloaded and installed the version that matches your version of Ubuntu). I installed this version as a "user install" rather than as "root" or "sudo." So my XDK is installed in ~/intel/XDK. So the way I start the XDK, with this install is to type "~/intel/XDK/xdk.sh &" at the terminal prompt. Is this what you are doing?

intel xdk is not starting when i click on the icon i'm using ubuntu 14.04

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

Sharan -- does it start if you use the xdk.sh script from the command-line, per my instructions in the previous post?

[Arjun_k_]

It is not starting even if we use the xdk.sh

I have filed an issue with engineering. I am unable to reproduce the issue, directly, but have identified an issue that may be related. Sorry, I do not have a workaround, other than to try using the XDK on a different OS (Mac or Windows 7, 8 or 10).

The login issues in Ubuntu 12 may be related to an unpatched OS version. The Intel XDK relies on the OS libssl/openssl libraries properly working. Please update the OS to latest security patches (using apt-get) and the issue should go away (those 2 libraries were updated after Ubuntu 12 was released). Note I do not mean upgrading the OS to Ubuntu14 or 15, just update all security patches.

On the issue with Intel XDK not launching, can you log out, log in again and try to start it again? Let me know if that fixed the issue.

[Arjun_k_1]

even after updating the packages using 'sudo apt-get update' , 'sudo apt-get upgrade' . I have tried 'Log Out' also , still issue persists.

[Arjun_k_1]

please help me to solve this issue...

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

Arjun, we're trying to resolve the issue. We do not have a solution at this time.

[Arjun_k_1]

please try to find a solution asap. we are waiting for your reply.

[Arjun_k_1]

please help.....waiting for your reply

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

Arjun, give the EA release a try. It might work better. Go to the Intel XDK EA sub-forum for a link to the download.

Oh God, I was working on my App on XDK (2548) sitting on ubuntu (64bit), and testing it for the last 10 days.

Now, I am unable to get the XDK start up, for whatever reason.  Reinstalling, and al those suggested arent working.

I am stuck, and the development time is running out;  Can anyone help and suggest to make this XDK run on Ubuntu ?

[Arjun_k_1]

EA result also not giving the result.please help .........

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

Please try the following options:

• reboot your Ubuntu machine
• start the xdk using the xdk.sh script (not the dock icon)

If that doesn't work:

• install the XDK using the "user" install option, not the "sudo" or "root" option
• start the xdk using the xdk.sh script directly (not an Ubuntu dock icon)

If that doesn't work:

• install a 64-bit version of Ubuntu on a machine
• install the XDK using the "user" install option, not the "sudo" or "root" option

Again, we have not determined what the source of the issue is, and have not identified a foolproof workaround. We are working on trying to resolve this issue, but have no idea how long it will take.

Another option:

• install a Windows VM on your Ubuntu machine
• install the Windows XDK into that VM
