[Coco] DriveWire frustrations

[Christopher Barnett Fox]

Thanks, Tormod. The only DriveWire 4 I see available is 4.3.3 available here https://sites.google.com/site/drivewire4/download. I believe that installs as 4.3.3c, which an online upgrade gets to 4.3.3o? The machine with my latest DW attempt is offline at the moment. I can confirm later.

I've only tried the OpenJDK 7 release available in the Ubuntu repositories. Issues I've had have been failure to launch altogether, the logs getting rapidly filled with Java exceptions, the built-in browser functionality doesn't work, lots of hangs or complete crashes while in use, etc. It's just generally so unreliable as to be unusable.

I don't understand why you have such troubles, but probably nothing
wrong with openjdk and Ubuntu 12.04, 32 or 64 bit. I have used
DriveWire with no problems on Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit), 14.04 (64-bit) and
various Debian versions without problems.

But double-check what kind of DriveWire versions you are sitting on.
Mine is 4.3.4d. IIRC 4.3.3p also worked fine. Use "dw server status"
on the DW4 command line field to see the version.
