iDRAC6 JViewer Unusable

Question

I'm having hard time to figure this out. In my code there's a button which add dynamically input fields which is good. But I want that field to have autocompleted google address. But my function doesn't work, coz i don't know where to put it in order to achieve those.

(function($) {
$(document).ready(function() {


var max_fields      = 10; //maximum input boxes allowed
var wrapper         = $(".input_fields_wrap"); //Fields wrapper
var add_button      = $(".add_field_button"); //Add button ID


var x = 1; //initlal text box count
$(add_button).click(function(e){ //on add input button click
    e.preventDefault();
    if(x < max_fields){ //max input box allowed
        x++; //text box increment
        $(wrapper).append(
            '<div><input type="text" class="form-control" id="searchInput" placeholder="Start typing and find your place in google map"><a href="#" class="remove_field">Remove</a></div>'); //add input box
        // Autocomplete google address
        function initMap() {
            var input = document.getElementById('searchInput');
            var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input);

        }
        initMap();
    }

});

$(wrapper).on("click",".remove_field", function(e){ //user click on remove text
    e.preventDefault(); $(this).parent('div').remove(); x--;
})

})
})(jQuery);

Solution

We ran into this problem in the office. Our setup is with Asus motherboards, but I think everyone uses ASPEED BMCs, and they all use the same base JViewer software from AMI. The symptom is we would get the same traceback as posted in the original question, but it would work fine under Linux and Windows.

Here's what we did. I'll admit this is one of the more strage ways to solve a problem... and it's total luck that we stumbled upon this as a solution (workaround, really.) These are internal notes that several of use used to get it working.

• Remove X11.app on your Mac (drag to trashcan)
• Empty trashcan
• Install Java
• Then re-install X11.app (XQuartz)

It appears you need X11 started to get it to work too. It will start automatically, but that seems iffy vs. starting it ahead of time. If you don't reinstall X11.app, it doesn't work - it really needs to be there.

I'm getting the same (Kubuntu 12.10 32bit/Firefox 32.0/Oracle Java 8 Update 20 - (build 1.8.0_20-b26)) I was following an alternate advisory regarding a permission manifest attribute, so deleted my Java cache contents. On re-running; I got the above exception.

For what it's worth, I never did get it running with Java. I used github.com/xdissent/ievms and VirtualBox to run a windows environment where I could use the ActiveX iDRAC viewer. Sorry :-(

@BarnenduGoswami - for what it's worth, these ubuntu console vides codes may end up being valuable to you when you do get DRAC running : imgur.com/fNruuUO

3 years, later, installing XQuartz fixed my issue on Mojave, very helpful, had to have XQuartz running and Jviewer started working, +1

Works in macOS Monterey as well.
