Ubooquity new install on Ubuntu 16.04 can only see 1st page through browser

Hello All,


I recently setup up Ubooquity on Ubuntu Server 16.04. It catalogged all my comics. When I click on one and attempt to read it however, it only says the comic is 1 page and only shows the cover. I am not able to switch pages because it says the comic only has 1 cover. I've checked the logs and see no errors in it. I've pasted a sample of my logs below:

Any input provided would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like I was able to resolve my own issue. I was missing the following paramter in my service script


"-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"


So I was essentially running


" -jar /etc/opt/ubooquity/ubooquity/Ubooquity.jar -webadmin -headless -port 80"


instead of:


"-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar /etc/opt/ubooquity/ubooquity/Ubooquity.jar -webadmin -headless -port 80"


After adding that parameter that I found on the following post, it did the trick (the metadata was applying too):


http://ubooquity.userecho.com/topics/117-help-how-to-for-ubuntu-14-headless/


If someone has an explanation on why that parameter is necessary or what does it exactly mean to someone who don't know squat 'bout Java, I'd appreciate it.


Under review

The "UTF-8" parameter is sometimes needed to tell the Java VM (the Java process that runs Ubooquity) that the underlying file system is using UTF-8 encoding.


I don't know exactly why this is necessary on some systems, for instance I didn't need it on my Raspberry Pi (on Raspbian) and not on some others.
