Installation in Ubuntu 21.10-based

Help
1

I just can’t manage to install the 5.x Version in Pop OS 21.10 (based on Ubuntu 21.10). I tried 5.5 and 5.6 .deb and portable 5.5 and 5.6 (.tar.gz), yet all show the same error:

OpenJFX is installed, as are openjdk-11-jre and openjdk-11-jre-headless. I read that it needs Java 13, but that’s not an option in 21.10, only 11 and 16. How do I get it to work? Snap is not an option, Pop removed everything Snap from Ubuntu so it couldn’t work with LibreOffice. Flatpak isn’t an option too, since I would need to install the Flatpak version of LibreOffice. Besides that, I’ve actually tried the flatpak version, exactly the same error.

Help appreciated.

Hi,

JabRef ships with it’s own jdk and javafx version, The most recent version (5.6dev) requires JDK17 + javafx18. But the jdk libs and normally also javafx is shipped with JabRef.
It seem that there is a problem with your javafx version on the system and it’s missing some native libraries. Try to install the latest version (18) from here.

Thanks. But which of the packages do I need? And how do I install it system-wide? Just unzip them somewhere and export an environment variable with the path system-wide?

Just unpacking the sdk zip and setting its path in PATH_TO_FX doesn’t work. Please help

Hey, I am not sure, which installation guide you are following, but I found this one from official javafx website:

That’s what I did:
I unpacked the JavaFX in /opt, set “PATH_TO_FX=/opt/javafx-sdk-18/lib” in /etc/environment, installed openjdk-17-jdk (also jdk-headless, jre and jre-headless open openjdk-17) besides the preinstalled OpenJDK-11 and also set “JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64” in /etc/environment. But it’s still throwing errors. What am I missing?
