Hi Everyone,

The certificate for the desktop sharing applet in BigBlueButton 0.81 has expired as of October 30, 2014.

We've re-signed the desktop sharing applet new code signing certificate valid for another year (until October 30, 2015).  

To update your BigBlueButton 0.81 server, do the following two commands



sudo cp bbb-deskshare-applet-0.8.1.jar /var/www/bigbluebutton/client/bbb-deskshare-applet-0.8.1.jar

After you do the update, try sharing you desktop again.  You should get a valid certificate when prompted by Java to run the desktop sharing applet.


Regards,... Fred

Just installed new .81 server, and added new deskshare with


sudo cp bbb-deskshare-applet-0.8.1.jar /var/www/bigbluebutton/client/bbb-deskshare-applet-0.8.1.jar

Deskshare doesn't start in any browser, I cleared browser and java cache with no luck.

The java console starts but nothing in debug.

Question, looking at git comment, last change makes it work with java 8?

I have java 7 installed, and deskshare client window says requires java 7u51 or above.

Should the new signed applet work with Java 7? or do customers need to install java 8

regards
Stephen

Upgraded to Java 8 still not working.

Looking closer, wget returns a file that is 59k in size, the old applet was 146k?  I tried a second time to make sure the file downloaded correctly, same thing just 59k

Github says it is 158K, so i manually downloaded the jar form github browser and got the complete jar, once i added to server it worked.

Not sure why wget is returning fie with wrong size?   Does anyone else get this?

regards,

Hi Stephen,

Good catch.  It was an error in my part --- the proper commands should be


sudo cp bbb-deskshare-applet-0.8.1.jar /var/www/bigbluebutton/client/bbb-deskshare-applet-0.8.1.jar

Hi Marc,

To remove any issue with downloading files from GitHub directly, we've moved the location of the to


Can you use it from the above and check that the file size is 158814.

Also, this applet is only for use with updating an existing BigBlueButton 0.81 -- the packaging for 0.9.0-beta has the updated applet already.

Please try the above and let us know if you still having problems.

Regards,... Fred

I had this problem when updating Java and updated the certificate successfully.
However, the applet does not work, it fails silently, the desktop sharing window stays gray and shows nothing.
Any pointer?

Hi Jean,

Can you do a quick check against


and let us know if you can run the desktop sharing.  Also, on your machine try it with both FireFox and Chrome.  Chrome may be asking you for permission (look for an icon with an 'x' in the upper right-hand corner) of your screen

Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred

thank you for your ever amazingly fast response
- Chrome does not work at all anymore (since java update?) - it hangs before loading modules
- IE and Firefox do the same thing: desktop sharing is grayed when launch, but no java authorization request
- The bbb demo id fine, Java asks for autorization, and then it works.
- I am running 0.81
- all my browsers are 64 bits
- I also tried Firefox 32 bits - the same

Thanks
Jean

Hi Jean,

Is it an option for you to try BigBlueButton 0.9.0-beta in your setup?  

If not, can you try the desktop sharing again on your 0.81 server and copy-and-paste the output from your browser's console this thread.  Also, what version of Java are you running in the client?

Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred,

It is not possible to upgrade to 0.9 for now. I have to stick on 0.81 waiting for a server uprade.
Below the java console messages in the 3 browsers. Never the desktop applet is invoked

I looked at debug, when I try to launch desktop sharing, I get these 2 errors:

Hi Jean,

Can you post the output of the command

ls -al /var/www/bigbluebutton/client/*.jar

This is what we see on a 0.81 server.

Hi Jean,

We can see the problem -- notice the difference in file sizes between your installed version of the bbb-deskshare-applet-0.8.1.jar (82866) and the updated version for 0.81 (158814).

Update your version, see following steps to update the bbb-deskshare-applet-0.8.1.jar on your server.

I did again the procedure, but end up with the same problem.
The size of the jar file is still different: 146440 and the necessary folders are not created: no deskshare folder

Hi,

You are almost there.  Do the download in a different directory, then move over the downloaded jar file (verifying of course it has the correct size).

OK, done.
Now the ls comand gives the expected result, but still the same. The folder are not created, debug reports the same after an attempt to share desktop (there are red5 errors too, I don't know if it is related).

OK, done.
Now the ls comand gives the expected result, but still the same. The folder are not created, debug reports the same after an attempt to share desktop (there are red5 errors too, I don't know if it is related).

Just wondering if having the correct bbb-deskshare-applet-0.8.1.jar file at the correct location (which seems to be the case now) is sufficient to have the missing folders and files appearing where they should?
Apparently, this was broken when I updated the applet for the signed one (I did the things exactly as indicated at https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/InstallationUbuntu#5.__Install_BigBlueButton)
Would doing  sudo apt-get install bigbluebutton once again could help repairing this?

Thanks 
Jean

Not sure why you are having issues. A straight replacement of the jar in /var/www/bigbluebutton/client should have been enough. I've done this last week on an EC2 instance and on VMWare.

Hello Fred,

Why not updating the bbb-client package instead of doing this manual work?

Best regards,
Stanislav

Hi Stan,

Any changes to the packaging for 0.81 triggers a lot of testing, and right now its pretty solid.  Rather that update the packaging, we did it through documentation.

Our focus is on finishing BigBlueButton 0.9.0-beta so we give everyone a newer version to upgrade (with up-to-date desktop sharing certificates).

Regards,... Fred

This is clear.

This is generally not clear for me. If we think about enterprise then normal way of udpating servers is doing it by package manager (let's say twice a week) and manual file replacement just breaks this paradigm.

Agreed -- and it's how we are building the packages for the BigBlueButton project for years.

I do the packaging myself.  You can blame me for not updating/testing the packaging for 0.81 with the new signed applet and, instead, making this a manual step.

On the other hand, look at it as another incentive to upgrade to 0.9.0-beta.  :-)

Hi Fred,

I did this step manually and just don't like that approach.
0.9.0-beta is another story. On the one hand we should upgrade our Ubuntu 10.04 very soon in order to comply with our security policy and on the other hand 0.9.0 is still in beta.

About deb-packaging. Do you need more man-power for this? I am experinced in this field.

Regards,
Stanislav

Hi Stanislav,

> On the one hand we should upgrade our Ubuntu 10.04 very soon in order to comply with our security policy and on the other hand 0.9.0 is still in beta.

Recommend you go ahead and setup a 0.9.0-beta server.  We are getting close to the release candidate, see


And it will be easy to update using packaging when we deliver 0.9.0-RC.


> Do you need more man-power for this? I am experinced in this field.

No.  Thanks anyway.

Hi Fred,

Could you share deb-source for bbb-client so I would be able to build deb-package for my internal repository? I did not manage to find deb-src pacakges for bbb neither in official repository nor on github.

Best regards,
Stanislav

Hi Stanislav,

Can we convince you to move to BigBlueButton 0.9.0-RC instead?

Hi Fredm

I will and hardware for the new system is in preparation stage at the moment but we would still need to keep the legacy system for a while.

Best regards,

Actually, my problem with desktop sharing was Chrome that definitely does not like Java anymore. Setting chrome://flags/#enable-npapi does not help. All runs OK under FF.

Hi Everyone,

The certificate for the desktop sharing applet in BigBlueButton 0.81 has expired as of October 30, 2014.

We've re-signed the desktop sharing applet new code signing certificate valid for another year (until October 30, 2015).  

To update your BigBlueButton 0.81 server, do the following two commands



sudo cp bbb-deskshare-applet-0.8.1.jar /var/www/bigbluebutton/client/bbb-deskshare-applet-0.8.1.jar

After you do the update, try sharing you desktop again.  You should get a valid certificate when prompted by Java to run the desktop sharing applet.
