Script not starting

[DrAxelbauer]

Hi everyone!
I also need to use webex. I followed the installation but the script is not firing up.

I use the following stuff:
firefox-61.0.tar.bz2 (x86 version)
jre-8u171-linux-i586.tar.gz

I just downloaded the files and extracted them to my folder. adjusted the folders in the script and tried to fire it up (after making it executable).

#!/bin/sh

webex() {
	FIREFOX_PATH="/home/benji/Programme/webex/firefox" #Change this to actual path. Note that spaces should be escaped.
	JRE_PATH="/home/benji/Programme/webex/jre" #Change this to actual path
	WEBEX_URL="https://signin.webex.com/collabs/auth" # initial signon page

Unfortunately the script is not working and it has given me no output so far. Any hints here? Is this procedure still workin with newer versions of ff and jre?

I am on kubuntu 18.04

Hi,
I don't use the script anymore. When I tried to use it the last time, I had issues with the libs as they work differently it seems. I wasn't able to solve it, so I'm using alternatives.

What exactly do you need? If you don't need to share your screen the chrome/chromium Webex App works quite well. You can use your microphone and speakers and can also see shared screens from others. Otherwise: Is using a Windows VM for Webex an option?

It might also be possible to get the script somehow working, but I didn't dig into it for quite some time. Also I'm not sure if the Java App is still supported from WebEx.

Thanks for your quick answer!
Unfortunately I am the host of the meetings so screen sharing is a must have. I do not have any experience in building a vm but is it that difficult to build such a vm for firefox/webex usage? ...I normally strive for native linux solution as a longtime linux user ;)

I also find it quite unsatisfying not having a linux native solution (again I didn't dig into it for a while - maybe there is one)
Regarding the VM: I wouldn't expect it to be harder than installing Windows in a VM and the WebEx Client.
