[AFMUG] UBNT airview won't run

Discussion:

Is Airview giving anyone else Java related grief? I've got 5.5.10 on
the radio, and when trying to run Airview, it pops an "Unable to
launch" error. I've googled for solutions, and so far nothing pans
out. Using the latest Java 8. In the past, it appears that the
solution to this problem was to drop Java security to medium. Oracle
appears to have removed that option in recent versions. Now you can
only select "High" or "Very High". However, you're supposed to be
able to accomplish the same thing by putting the URL into the
exception list. I've done that, but to no avail. I've also tried it
on a PC running Java 7 with the same results.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

This is with the latest Java update just happened to me about 10 minutes
ago. You have to add the IP to the exception list as http://x.x.x.x then
click OK go to Configure Java in search under start menu. Then click the
security tab and add exception.

It is a real pain.

Win 7 & MacOSX

All combinations of the above seem to choke.

I tried entering exceptions (as http://x.x.x.x as well as
https://x.x.x.x). No go. Still gives the same error.

The correct way to fix it in 7 was to add the URL to the exceptions list, not lower security. Never lower security system-wide especially for Java. I don't have 8, so I'm not sure if that still works.

It's pretty quick to make a VirtualBox VM (xubuntu or whatever) with
security-lowered Java, just for the purpose of running AirView and other
silly things. Definitely a bad idea to lower Java security system-wide on
your main workstation. I have a stripped down VM with a 4GB virtual disk
here that consists of basically nothing more than an basic Debian install,
XFCE4 desktop, Firefox, Chrome, and the latest sun JRE.

Make sure you only have 1 connection at the computer you are trying to run on. For example, turn off your WiFi if you are physically connected. There are some other suggestions on Ubiquitiâs site or on the UBNT forum on Wispa.
