Arch Linux User Repository

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.

It is true that jre8 needs to be installed (it need not be the default, the geogebra wrapper script takes care of selecting the right version) for some Geogebra functions to work. I never use those functions however.

Example: Start with a later JRE than 8 and try to switch to 3D mode. Console output:

There is clearly a bug somewhere. For the time being, I would recommend to just add java-runtime=8 to depends. In particular, I would not like to have a binary blob installed that has no benefits over any of Arch Linux's jre8-* packages.

@xiretza with java 14 or 15, when you finish your drawing then right click on mouse to select the zone to be exported, the selection doesn't work with those jres, but with jre 8 it works perfectly.
