Arch Linux User Repository

Thanks!

Now that JRE 18 is out, properly greping for 8 needs the -w option:

--- a/geogebra
+++ b/geogebra

Besides, in my checkout of the PKGBUILD, I version the depends on java-runtime=8 because running with anything else works superficially but with flaws that grow worse over time. Today I ran it with the JRE 18 because of the unrefined grep, and I got subtle redraw errors.

Please, is it feasible to install GeoGebra 6 of the Arch Community repo simultaneously with this AUR 5 version?

Definitively, I prefer GeoGebra 5. However, some graphics tasks require the use of the 6 version. Now, I use the official Linux portable version. Nevertheless, I would prefer to install the package to get auto-updating.

@xiretza I found a solution. It was due to Wayland, Java GUIs seem to not like it very much.

The solution was to run the app with

_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 geogebra

Found the solution in this archwiki article

Hmm, can't reproduce - works fine for me, and my log is exactly the same.

EDIT: solution above

Launching the app after installing it only opens to a blank window

The log file doesn't seem to help much

@xiretza why the package doesn't extract the embedded jre8 and uses it by default ?

Can't seem to log in with Google. The buttons on the page to enter your email won't do anything.

EDIT: Now, I can get the base 64 with the AUR version with CTRL + SHIFT + B. Sometimes, it doesn't work. Then, I select any object in the Graphics Area and hit again CTRL + SHIFT + B: the base 64 code comes to the clipboard.

Please, how could I get the base 64 of an applet? Frequently, the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + B makes this task. However, with my windows manager (i3-gaps), it doesn't work. The portable version of the official site of GeoGebra seems to work fine.

I've tried some online conversion tools. However, my Internet connection is no good.

Arch Linux (Linux kernel: 5.4.92-1-lts) + i3-gaps (4.19-1).

I am not fluent with Java tools, but the gluegen build instructions seem to require specification of the target JRE version for their ant build command. Presumably, Geogebra's gluegen build has been made for JRE 8.
