Hi there,

You should fix the download section:

I’'ve just downloaded spark_2_0_7_online.exe. The file has 0 MB and is empty.

Cheers,

Dick

Thanks. Fixed it.

Hi there,

that was a fast fix ;o). Thanks!

Next thing I’'m unable to find after your website revision

are the jive-emoticons.

Is there by any chance a recent link for download?

Cheers

Nope, download still broke.

Is automatic reconnects on lost connections in this version? It appears it might be, but I just want to be sure.

yes

This is from my server which was hosting the mirrors from another thread. please retry from the ignite download section.

Hi Scott,

can you see the avatars in the forum? Do you use a proxy or an anti virus software?

I wonder if your proxy/av software has a problem with “Content-Disposition”.

Hi,

thanks for this release!

I can’'t verify the resolution of bug SPARK-443 - The Translator plug-in does not work.

I don’'t see any effect from that plugin (I installed it and restarted Spark), no matter which Languages I select.

Thanks,

Marco

Hi,

sorry But I to find that translations are still not functional.

Lance

Same here, the translations do not seem to work & the Translator Plugin Readme readme.html shows:

Overview: The plugin allows for blocking of file transfers dependent on file type or users. Not to mention when you try to go to the readme/changelog from within the plugin menu on spark it gives you dead urls -

http://www.jivesoftware.org/updater/retrieve.jsp?filename=translator.jar&readme= true

500 Servlet Exception

java.util.zip.ZipException: No such file or directory

Thanks

I recently downloaded spark_2_0_7.tar.gz but it will not unpack. I’'ve tried it on Debian Sarge and RHEL es v4, no luck. I tried with:

tar -zxvf spark_2_0_7.tar.gz

the error message I get is

tar: This does not look like a tar archive

tar: Skipping to next header

tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

tar: Read 2172 bytes from spark_2_0_7.tar.gz

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I also tried

gunzip spark_2_0_7.tar.gz

tar -xvf spark_2_0_7.tar

same error message ;-(

The filesize is 23875783 bytes, downloaded using firefox on Linux Debian Sarge running Kde

I also tried the alternative link

Any ideas?

I also have exactly this problem. Is there a previous version I can download?

Try the previous version of spark at this url:

http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloadServlet?filename=spark/spark_2_0_6.tar.gz

I had the same issue initially.

gunzip spark_2_0_7.tar.gz

tar xvf spark_2_0_7.tar

That worked for me on Fedora Core 4.

Nathan

seems like the archive is gzipped twice

This works for me:

gunzip spark_2_0_7.tar.gz

mv spark_2_0_7.tar spark_2_0_7.tar.gz

gunzip spark_2_0_7.tar.gz

tar xvf spark_2_0_7.tar

I’'ve managed to download it, by a different method:

wget -O spark-2.0.7.tar.gz http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloadServlet?filename=spark/spark_2_0_7.tar.gz

This method gives me a different filesize (23965820 bytes) and it unpacks OK

next:

I unpacked it and ran Spark from desktop, no joy, so I ran it again from CL and caught the error message. It was looking for a dir ‘‘windows’’ under lib so I created it and ran from desktop again, bingo!

I have logged in to my jabber server OK

so far so good, now to investigate wildfire, which a friend tells me is behaving similarly

Release Notes - Spark - Version 2.0.7

  • Bug
  • SPARK-428 - Fixed issue with removing start on startup in preferences.

I seem to be seeing an issue where if the user is not a Local Admin, when they try to set Spark to launch on startup under Preferences - it will not work. This does work when the user is a Local Admin.

Hi Raven,

Yes, this is occuring because Spark is using the windows registry to set itself to start on startup. I’'m looking into better alternatives to get this working.

Cheers,

Derek
