Ubuntu 20.04 error on Case creation

Autopsy Help
1

Hi all. Noted, 20.04 is a (final) beta at the moment This is informational, not a complaint.

Notes:
Installed from source (.zip, dependencies resolved)
Last worked on 19.10, same current version of Autopsy, Sleuthkit, Bellsoft Java, etc.
JAVA_HOME path is set properly

Two errors throw on new Case/DB creation. I did a full reinstall and reboot. Only a partial file structure is created:

1st attempt:
Opening splash does not load.
/javafx/scene/paint/color

deadsnap
deadsnap1058Ă—275 22.2 KB

2nd attempt:
Could not initialize class org.sleuthkit.autopsy.casemodule.services.TagNameDefinition

deadsnap2
deadsnap2956Ă—296 24 KB

Note similar issue here: Error during case creation

Has anyone been successful using 20.04 LTS yet? Please let me know if more information is useful

Can you post the first 20 lines or so of your messages.log file (typically found in ~/.autopsy/dev/var/log)?
Thanks.

I had this problem in Ubuntu 18.04 and this post solved my problem. I only had to update to the full version of bellsoft.

Yep, @elhombreimposible is correct. Your version of Bellsoft Java is missing JavaFX.
