Installing on Linux Mint

[ranger]

I've tried installing both the openGL and standard client on Linux Mint, but it aborts when trying to connect to the server. OpenJDK 1.7.0.79 is installed.
Before I troubleshoot further, is the error possible due to mismatched versions between the server and the Linux client?
Server - 9.0.0.3
Client - 9.0.0.4

The server is busy and I cannot upgrade the JAR file for a few hours...

The version shouldn't matter. Are you running a 64bit system with 64bit java, etc. The packages that I posted were 64bit packages, so you'd need 64bit java, etc.

Linux Mint 17, built on Ubuntu 14.04.2
x86_64
Java version is 64 bit

I couldn't find any SageTV specific logs in either the /opt/sagetv/client folder or the /var/logs path. Any place specific I should look?

The miniclient logs are in /tmp/miniclient.log.

Have you tried to use java 7 from oracle?

No... I haven't actually tried Java 7, yet... not for the mini client. I run my sage server on java 7, though.

Afeter looking at the log I found this error message at the end of the file
"intel_do_flush_locked failed no such file or directory". A quick google and I added the SageTVPlaceshifter.properties file to /opt/sagetv/client/ with the following text to bypass openGL.

xvmc=true
opengl=false

Works now. A few flashes during playback, but now running on an older Dell laptop (Latitude E6400)
