Not yet…I am under the gun on a project and will have to come back to this in a couple of days. For now I have installed Spark in my Windows VM as a workaround. (this is a work laptop)
ah i see… ok, well when u revisit this, let us know. i’m curious as to what is holding it up. if i rememebr tonight i’ll zip up my working installation on my Fedora16 laptop and upload it someplace… you should be able to download it and unzip it and compare to your installation… as mine is confirmed working. maybe it will help?
Hi All,
i’m facing exact same problem with spark 2-7-6, (in the lab environment)…tried steps suggested by James, any help i’ll appreciate.

nothing after this, something should launch…i recently started using centos, previously had ubuntu.
any step i am missing…thanks.
This is a long standing issue with dependencies for rpm install. But we don’t have experienced developers or RPM based OS users to fix this. Filed as [SPARK-1717] Failing dependencies when installing RPM version - Jive Software Open Source
On Ubuntu, when i use tar.gz version i have to go inside and do chmod +x Spark. When you do ls in that directory, does it list Spark and starter as executable files?
yes, it did show me highlighted in green after i did chmod stuff,
./Spark
./starter
i did these too…no response at all.
with ubuntu i have done various program installations, basically .bin specially and i was expecting some GUI to popup or something rolling in terminal…but nothing happened. Unfortunately, i did least of rpm packages install, could there be an older version which i can try(if that is less problematic.
i’m mainly a cisco UC engineer and linux loving guy, who uses mostly anything other than windows. of course willing to learn opensource.
using my MAC book pro running osx el capitan the spark-2-7-6.dmg worked perfectly. when i tried on windows 7 machine, spark-2-7-6.exe was installed successfully but after login the IM was logging out on its own every 3 sec or so.
Also to add, i couldn’t get spark web to work on any platform…java/flash i had updated before…
any help suggestion to test/learn spark with some stable operation…any old version more stable to invest some learn time.
SparkWeb is outdated and unsupported, not worth trying. Also it’s a web client which should be installed on the server itself, not on the client machine. Trying older Spark version not worth it either. It will have the same issue with rpm and even more other bugs. I wil ltry to look into dependencies issue later, but can’t promise anything. Not a huge linux guy, nor good java developer
Hi, mandy,
Could you please test those RPM builds and see if it fixes the issues.
