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.
@tuxzz I've never used Fcitx or fcitx5. From what I could find, they are meant to add support for inputting non-ASCII characters? If that's the case, then I doubt that will ever work because Mathematica simply does not support unicode very well. It only added unicode support in v12, and even then it's very limited and you cannot input non-ASCII characters without using the special syntax they use.
@defty
Indeed you don't need most optional dependencies. Mathematica has such a broad scope that including every dependency seems like overkill (especially if one wants to install Mathematica without needing the GUI).
As the the error you're getting, I'm not really sure what might be causing it.
fcitx5 doesn't work in this Mathematica. Did anyone fix it?
2 questions:
@JP-Ellis do the 21 GB need to be free storage in the / partition or in /home?
@wjhandley Mostly likely, the directory Mathematica is being built in ran out of space during installation, resulting in Mathematica's installer just not creating certain files. Please make sure you have at least 21GB of space (I believe that is the current total).
