Ubuntu problem -- blank window on startup

[Alex Harsha]

Hi there...

I have been having a problem starting up my Ubuntu installation: more frequently than not, after executing FrontlineSMS.sh (both by clicking on the file and in the terminal) the program window opens but remains blank. This started happening just recently, but doesn't happen all the time. The terminal reads:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Width (0) and height (0) cannot be <= 0

FrontlineSMS.sh: 2: Stable: not found

The last line appears even when the program appears to open normally. Do I need to download another build? What is going on? I haven't messed with it, so if anyone could shed some light on the situation that would be much appreciated. I've attached a screenshot of the blank window if that helps.

Thanks!

Update...I just downloaded and re-installed FrontlineSMS but have the same problem. Could it be a problem with java?
