Hello,

First thank you for your great remote app, we use the 2.5 version with WINE in Debian and it works great !

Now we start to use Joomla 1.6 and we need the 4.x version of ARC but when I click on the icon nothing happens.

I have tried the Extract Wizzard app and it works fine.

I have read the documentation but find no solutions.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

This seems to be a known Appcelerator Titanium bug and the solution is detailed here. The thread mentions Ubuntu, but Ubuntu is based on Debian so I assume the solution is the same.

Akeeba Remote Control is based on the Appcelerator Titanium runtime, which requires Python 2.5 to work. However, most modern Linux distributions come with Python 2.6 or 2.7. The following workaround was tested on Ubuntu 10.10, but should work on Debian as well:

1. Start the application for the first time and choose "Install to my home directory". When it finishes, close the application.
2. Make sure Python 2.6 is installed. On Ubuntu 10.10 or Debian you can use the following command on a Terminal:
sudo apt-get install python2.6
3. Create the necessary symlinks by typing the following command on a Terminal (do note that there is no line break):
ln -s /usr/lib/libpython2.6.so.1.0 ~/.titanium/runtime/linux/1.1.0/libpython2.5.so.1.0

4. Relaunch the application

Hi,

Thank you for your support.

Python2.5 is installed and Titanium works fine.

I can import and run Remote Control in Titanium app but nothing happens when I click on the Remotre Control icon.

Maybe a bug in your package or a mistake from me ?


Thank you.

Most likely the executable generated by Titanium is broken :( We have no real control over the installer and the executable files produced by Titanium. The only thing I modify is the JS/HTML code you imported in Titanium Developer. Everything else is a "black box' provided by Titanium itself.
