Arch Linux User Repository

Recent pdfsam version starts but shows no fonts on a freshly installed arch machine. Interface elements are clickable. Am I'm missing dependencies?

UPDATE: pdfsam expects windows fonts to be installed. I installed ttf-ms-win11-auto, and now the fonts are visible.

In recent versions pdfsam wouldn't work with a java version other than the one specified. Therefore I would suggest that you simply do a sudo pacman -S jre21-openjdk to additionally install the correct jre. The startscript provided will automatically select the correct java environment.

jre-openjdk is now in version 22 which break dependency of this package that needs runtime 21, is it possible to update ?

@ChaosKid42 you are right! Resolved, thank you very much.

sudo pacman -Sy jre-openjdk should solve your problem

Too much versions...

pacman -Qs | grep openjdk

local/java-openjdk-bin 21.0.1.u12-1
local/jdk11-openjdk 11.0.21.u9-3

local/jre8-openjdk 8.392.u08-1
local/jre8-openjdk-headless 8.392.u08-1

Using xfce4, does it exist alternatives (debian like)?

yay -R local/jre8-openjdk-headless jre8-openjdk jre17-openjdk jre17-openjdk jre11-openjdk jre11-openjdk jre-openjdk-headless jdk8-openjdk jdk17-openjdk jdk11-openjdk

@marco.righi: What is the output of pacman -Qs | grep openjdk?

It should say local/jdk-openjdk 21.u35-8or local/jre-openjdk 21.u35-8.

Did you maybe install jre-openjdk-headless?

archlinux-java-run --min 21 --max 21 --java-home

/usr/lib/jvm/java-21-openjdk

@marco.righi:

What is the output of archlinux-java-run --min 21 --max 21 --java-home?
