What are you looking at in the log that indicates if the GUI ran or if it ran headless?

So I have to run UMS.sh as root to get a GUI? That's not recommended. Is there something more I could check?

I ran trace to get those log files BTW....

UMS.sh as normal user, no GUI
sudo UMS.sh, diaplays GUI.

If this helps...

I downloaded the Java 7 and Java 8 versions, extracted to their own folders. If I run the default downloaded ./UMS.sh No GUI, if I run sudo ./UMS.sh it displays the GUI, for both Java 8 and Java 7.

This has to be some kind of permission issue. I'm stuck can anyone help?

Here's where I found the install script...

It does not matter what UMS.sh I use, none display the GUI....

Thanks,

Here's my debug log:

I installed UMS but there is no GUI. I did run a script found here:

After I installed via that script the GUI did start but once I rebooted it no longer does. I can start UMS as a service only now. It works but I'd like to see the GUI. Can anyone help?

I cannot gather logs without the GUI ...
