Environment

GroupWise 18.1

Situation

When trying to start the standalone version of GWCheck on a SLES11SP4 server, only Java errors are returned.

Resolution

Add the following lines to the /etc/bash.bashrc file:

#Unsetting GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID as it interferes with Java, which in turns causes gwcheck errors
unset GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID
#END Unset

Another alternative would be to just type:

unset GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID 

in a terminal window before starting GWCheck

Cause

The system variable, GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID, is causing Java issues for GWCheck and it needs to be turned off.
