I had previous crashes of Wuala but I coould fix them by deleting all things in folder:
WualaSharedData
Today for the first time this did not help on my machine: MacMini OSX V10.4.11
I even went so far to try re-installing from scratch the OSX and updating back to V10.4.11, then installing Wuala again, but even then after the initial automatic update I see again the crash of SWT before the Wuala user interface comes up. I just get an OSX crash report which may be send to Apple, but no Wuala error message, which could be send back to Wuala programmers.
The content of the folder
WualaSharedData/Updater/
shows most files in two version, both downloaded at the same time today:
libswt-cocoa-carbon-3333.jnilib
libswt-cocoa-carbon-3349.jnilib

I tried the long command in the terminal and I still got the crash plus the following Terminal output:
Adding lib994753600.jar to the classpath
Adding swt.jar to the classpath

2. This crash report above comes from a fresh first time installation of Wuala on a fresh OSX 10.4.11 with admin account. The ls -a says:

Here are some other things you should try:

1. Launch Wuala from the Terminal by the following command and let us know the error message:

exec java -ea -cp /Users/Shared/WualaSharedData/Program/WualaStarter.jar:/Users/Shared/WualaSharedData/Program/swt.jar:/System/Library/Java/ -Djava.library.path="/Users/Shared/WualaSharedData/Program" -Xmx256M -XstartOnFirstThread -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dwuala.basedir=/Users/Shared/WualaSharedData/ com.wuala.platform.WualaStarterMac -project WualaMAC Kolumbus

2. enter the following commands in the terminal and post the output (you can remove the lines containing directories/files not related to Wuala, but at least the lines for . , .. and WualaSharedData should be included):

ls -al /Users/Shared

ls -al /Users/Shared/WualaSharedData

This might help us in isolating the problem...

We are doing our best to fix these issues as soon as possible.

The following aspects might be helpful for us to solve this issue:
- Did Wuala work on this machine before or is this a new installation?
- If Wuala worked before, did you do any other updates bsides the automatic Wuala updates, which might have broken Wuala
- Which version of Java do you have and what kind of processor is in your computer?

We are not yet able to replicate this problem with Mac OS X 10.5, neither with the older version of Java, nor with the newest update from Apple.

We are really sorry for the inconvenience and hope to fix this as soon as possible.

What Java version are you using? 64-bit does not work as SWT is based on carbon still.

I also have this problem. I'm trying to run it from an admin account. I have a MBP running 10.5.2. Wuala will try to run for about a minute or two and then claim it needs to quit. I've submitted crash reports when prompted.

@bagelcat: that Meta directory is empty for me...

delete the files PendingTransactions* in the folder /Users/SharedData/WualaSharedData/Data/Meta/

most times this has worked for me.

Hi,

could you tell us a bit about your set up? Are you trying to run Wuala from a non-admin account?
