Hello,

I installed SAP GUI 7.30, java version for Linux and I cannot start it by clicking on its icon. The application logo appears but then disappears after loading the application. I ran it from the console to get the errors. Did anyone have the same issue?

console response:

/home/user/SAPClients/SAPGUI/bin/guilogon

Hello Saulo,

please make sure to use a current Oracle JRE (e.g. 1.7u11) and try again.

If the issue persists, please create a support message on component BC-FES-JAV and provide the complete stack trace as an attachment.

Best regards

Rolf-Martin

Hello, All,

Try to install 1.7.0 last version, via yum install. After this the sapgui 7.3 work fine!.

Best Regards,

Same problem in Ubuntu 12. Use Oracle (Sun) Java JRE.

First removed prior versions of Java.

sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\*

Install newer version following this: http://www.duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en

and also the repositories. Worked fine for me.
