Hi I'm running Ubuntu as well, so I gave this a try, see if I could reproduce your problem. Installed the latest version, and added the zooomr account, and when it prompted me to authorize it took me to a zooomr authorization screen on my browser, authorized, and then I could upload. No problems.

404 errors usually mean that the server couldn't be contacted, so maybe the server that does the authorization was momentarily down, I'd give it a try again cause it worked for me. You probably already know that the non-flash version of the uploader on this site works fine in linux, right? I think it says html-based on it, here's the link.

I hope it works out for you, Paul. I'm using the openjdk-6-jre java package, and juploader 1.2alpha1 on ubuntu 8.10. Maybe try running it off of the ubuntu livecd with these packages and seeing if it works out that way? At least then you could determine that it's something wrong with your current system as opposed to a software bug..

thank you very much amaisa. i just tried it again, and i still get the 404 error, and only for zooomr, i still can add flickr fine; its wierd, when i click add flick account, it brings up the screen, click to authorize, but when i click to add zoomr, it does not bring anything up, you can tell it is trying, but no new window pops up; only when i click preferences, and in the account tab click authorize jUploadr, with the little zooomr icon on the button, will it actually bring up a new window, and then it gives me the 404 error; both ways it seems pretty evident that for some reason, it is not connecting.
and yeah i know the non flash version works fine, i just wanted to batch upload.
i just realized it, or i think i realized it for you because i saw this posted a few places. people had the same problem i am having, but when they switched to the alpha version, it authorized just fine. actually would you be able to link to where you downloaded the alpha version; I currently have version 1.2.2. thank you so much again!

it worked; i do not know what it is, but once i switched to alpha, i was able to authorize zoomr. thank you so much again!

Yeah, you got it working? Awesome! Well, I'm glad I could help in some small way. Us Ubuntu folks got to stick together ;) lol

I personally use f-spot on linux (ubuntu intrepid also) to manage my pictures and it has an export feature to Zooomr. It works like a charm, so you might give it a try.
