Hi,

i am new to this bigbluebutton,

I have installed bigbluebutton , version 1.0.0-bita and also downloaded repository of bigbluebutton from github  version 0.9.2 successfully.

In Client Development , I was Setup the client Environment and building the client successfully ,but " when i was launched bbb server 192.168.0.130/XXXX/xx....and when i was joined the meeting,,  the screen is white with the
progress  bar, blue colour, freezes to "loading 100%" the language list is set to English with no possible change (i.e. to French )  - the disconnect
button is also visible but with no text..." and
when i was run http://demo.bigbluebutton.org/ it run successfully.

sudo bbb-conf --check

Hi Naman,

It looks like you may not have updated the config.xml in your development environment.  See

If your server is 1.0-beta make sure to use the 1.0 development instructions (http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/1.0/10setup.html). The 1.0 instructions tell you to use the master branch (or a branch based off of it) for development (for now).

There is a minor correction to what I wrote. You should be using the "v1.0.x-release" branch instead of master now. The master branch will be diverging from what is in 1.0 and will likely become incompatible in the future.

The config.xml that you attached shows the IP address "192.168.0.114", but your --check shows the IP address "192.168.0.106". Update ~/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/src/conf/config.xml to match your servers IP, rebuild the client, and finally restart your server (bbb-conf --clean).

Nothing is sticking out to me. You are going to have to do some debugging to try and find where the client is getting stuck. You can download the debug version of Flash Player for Firefox (https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html) and Vizzy Flash Tracer (https://code.google.com/archive/p/flash-tracer/downloads) to see the debug lines.
