    Problem installing Soundbridge Commander for streaming audio

    I want to use my Roku Soundbridge now that I've migrated from Windows to Kubuntu. The connection between the Soundbridge and my computer is wireless, and I'm using a Netgear WGT624 v.3 router.

    There is a program called Soundbridge Commander that I have downloaded and installed on my computer. It is supposed to allow me to control my Soundbridge (tune the internet radio tuner, play mp3 files, etc.) from my computer.

    When I start Soundbridge Commander, it does get as far as seeing and recognizing my Soundbridge on my wireless network. However, it doesn't get much further than that:

    steve@SteveOld:~$ java -jar SoundBridgeCommander.jar
    service added: SoundBridge
    service resolved: SoundBridge
    Found Service Info.
    New SoundBridgeCommander(SoundBridge,10.0.0.4,0,0)

    The problem seems to be here: "java.lang.Error: Graphics2D not implemented. Cairo was not found or disabled at configure time". Does anyone know what this means or how I can fix it? I'm still a relative noob with Kubuntu.

    Thanks.

    Almost looks like you downloaded the Windows version - 'Cairo' is/was the code version name for Vista. The Linux version of Soundbridge Commander can be downloaded from SourceForge.net here.

      No, I downloaded the linux version (from SourceForge). I have found other linux users in other forums who've encountered the same problem, but so far have not found a workaround. I am sure there is a workaround, though, as plenty of Kubuntu users are using SoundBridge Commander.

      The search for a fix continues...
