mathematica and mathematica-light have been updated to 14.1. Mathematica is being rebranded to WolframApp or just Wolfram. Because of that, you might have to update your current configuration according to Upgrading from Mathematica to Wolfram:

  • The default $UserBaseDirectory is now ~/.Wolfram (you may need to mv ~/.Mathematica ~/.Wolfram)
  • MATHINIT is now WOLFRAMNB_INIT (for additional arguments to Wolfram)
  • MATHEMATICA_BASE is now WOLFRAM_BASE (for custom $BaseDirectory)
  • MATHEMATICA_USERBASE is now WOLFRAM_USERBASE (for custom $UserBaseDirectory)

Wolfram offers two bundles for Mathematica: one with offline docs included, and one which relies on online docs. I have created corresponding version of the Mathematica package in the AUR:

  • mathematica: As this package has historically always included offline docs, it will continue to do so now. As of 13.1.0, the package takes up around 14.1GiB with all documentation.
  • mathematica-light: For those people who want a small package and/or want to use online docs, I have created this package which uses Wolfram's online-docs bundling of Mathematica. As of 13.3, the light version takes up around 7.2GiB.

No problem, and thank you for the quick update.

JP-Ellis commented on 2021-02-12 21:46 (UTC)

@BachoSeven Thanks! I've fixed it and updated the PKGBUILD.

I decided not to bump the pkgrel as this is such a minor change and I don't want to force everyone to repackage Mathematica.

i.e. this is how the last line of the .desktop file looks like:

Categories=Science;Math;NumericalAnalysis;DataVisualization;StartupWMClass=Mathematica;

BachoSeven commented on 2021-02-11 18:48 (UTC)

@JP-Ellis I think that line 144 should have a \n at the end of the printf statement, since you have two of them appending text to the .desktop file. Otherwise, it will print a single line with both entries(which broke the parsing of mathematica's Categories for a program on my system, which is how I realised this).

@MagHSK and @defty Mathematica has really poor support of non-ASCII characters. I suspect it is something to do with that? Unfortunately I really don't know how this can be fixed.

defty commented on 2021-02-01 02:43 (UTC)

@MagHSK I'm getting the same issue, not sure why.

maghsk commented on 2021-01-14 04:53 (UTC)

Why all the buttons showing $Failed in my install?

ver 12.2.0, tried LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Wolfram got back to me about the Graphics3D issues with poor font rendering and Opacity. As previously mentioned, a workaround is to use the -mesa option when starting Mathematica (which renders on the CPU and is thus slow) or using an Nvidia GPU. (I don't know about AMD?) They also gave me a nicer workaround for the Opacity issue: https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/236975/36317

Here's a PKGBUILD for 12.2.0 https://pastebin.com/raw/Fy1t961P I haven't noticed any regressions. Unfortunately, the Graphics3D issues with poor font rendering and Opacity making things invisible haven't been fixed. (I contacted Wolfram about these issues today, so hopefully they'll be fixed in a later version.)

@tuxzz This is a known issue. Unfortunately, it seems that there is no easy fix. For a not so easy fix, check this: https://www.csslayer.info/wordpress/fcitx-dev/a-case-study-how-to-compile-a-fcitx-platforminputcontext-plugin-for-a-proprietary-software-that-uses-qt-5/ Disclaimer: I haven't tried this myself.
