mathematica and mathematica-light have been updated to 14.1. Matematica 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.

@RunAndTumble Although bundling libraries has fixed a bug in the past, it also has the potential to create new bugs. Wolfram supposedly sometimes modifies some of the bundled libraries and they do not support linking to system libraries. If you want to use system libraries, you can remove or rename the bundled library files that you do not want to use.

@JP-Ellis

What are the chances to get rid of the bundled components by simply linking to the system ones?

Has anyone run into the following error while installing 12.0.0?

mkdir: cannot create directory '/applications-merged': Permission denied

It seems as though the installer is trying to write to actual system root (at least, from the error message) as opposed to the root of pkg/

12.1.1 was released earlier this month: https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/quick-revision-history.html

Why is this flagged out-of-date? I don't see any new releases.

@bryango I think the -mesa option tells Mathematica to tell it's bundled Qt to use mesa llvmpipe to render graphics on the CPU.

@kjslag Yes! I can confirm both issues (segfault for 12.0 and blank 3D for 12.1) are gone with mesa. However, 11.3 works fine with OpenGL and displays better graphics (with less aliasing). It seems that 12+ is somehow incompatible with system's OpenGL implementation, which, I think (at least for me), is also mesa; by searching through my installed packages with keyword OpenGL, I find that the only related package is mesa v20.0.6. Hence I believe there might be conflicts betweeen the bundled mesa and system mesa. Weird since it worked fine in 11.3.

References: Mathematica documentation for RenderingOptions:

"Mesa"    use the bundled Mesa implementation of OpenGL, available on all systems
"OpenGL"  use the system's OpenGL driver, available only on non-Windows systems

@bryango iyanmv's idea of starting Mathematica with -mesa fixes your issues for me. See also: https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/222365/36317

I upgraded from Mathematica 12.0.0 to Mathematica 12.1.0, and now I have some kind of render issue. When I'm typing in a notebook, there is a gray bar on top of the text. It is quite annoying to be honest. I have written to their support email, hope to get any answer. In the meantime, anyone facing a similar issue?

I have also tried to start Mathematica with -mesa option, but still same problem. I suspect this has something to do with the new support for HiDPI. They kind of change all default sizes.
