Rapidminer Studio 7.5 jackson.databind java.lang.NoSuchMethodError on startup

  Hello,

today I've upgraded from 7.4 to 7.5 and I cannot start RapidMiner Studio. The error is:

I am running 

 

openjdk version "1.8.0_131"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-8u131-b11-0ubuntu1.17.04.1-b11)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

 

Linux DCS-LPT-W541 4.10.0-20-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 20 09:22:42 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 

I have tried to download jackson.databind and jackson.core 2.8.8 and putting them in $RAPIDMINER_HOME/lib but to no avail.

 

Any ideas?

 

  Sincerely,

  Mikolaj

I am replying myself, in case anyone else has this problem in the future. After installing 7.5 I had to run it once as root, only then the update process completes, and after that I can run RS as a regular user with no issues.
