I downloaded jabref_6.0_arm64.deb and run it on gdebi on a raspi5 running debian13(trixie) (Linux neprodi 6.6.63-current-bcm2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 25 16:19:55 UTC 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux).
it runs without an error, two icons are appearing in my MATE menu, but nothing happens. It seems it tries to install in /opt, which is not present on a standard debian installation.
i also observed, that the sha256 checksum of the download and the one plublished differes. i have 6a9a1ef428a71eec3973b09c44bf45e5e165533a36f16344ac8934d779ae25b4
whereas the published value is 8636cc8d0ee31907338216629658aad44bc6a73e1f310b64c17739f1fc05412e
what is wrong? what can i do to get a running jabref on an arm64 architecture?
Thanks for the feedback, seems like you hit a bug. I could just reproduce this in a VM. I will try to fix this
i did ask chatgpt and got: Visit the official nightly/dev builds index at:
https://builds.jabref.org/main/ JabRef Builds
and did not much thinking about the label “nightly/dev builds” - and was very pleased to see the arm64.deb (too pleased, obviously). the version alpha installs, but fails when executed with “Exception in thread “main” java.lang.IllegalStateException: Missing embedded postgres binaries”, this seems to be a common issue and I am not sure, how to avoid it. what is the best way? i would appreciate, if you can point me to the appropriate help page! thank you! andrew
Happy New Year!
The issue is now fixed: https://builds.jabref.org/main/
Thank you - it worked perfectly and installed properly!
