Hello,
I am using a fully updated (as of post date) edition of Garuda Sway Wayland. I have just installed and tried reinstalling jdownloader 2 from the chaotic repo. Whenever I launch the program I get no response and the program will not open.
Could someone assist me in fixing this issue?
Thank you
Welcome 
Start app from terminal, check errors and search for answers in web.
Hello,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I am quite new to this sort of thing and don't know what it means.
This was the code I got back, what part of it would I use to search?:
"[user JDownloader scope]
[user JDownloader scope]
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.crossplatformlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel {}
Unrecognized option: {}
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit."
I searched and found no link to git on their website. Open source?
It’s in the Garuda post-installation wizard:
This is how I installed it and it still will not launch.
I searched that error and I can't find any that apply to me.
Did it manage to self-update or failed to even get that far?
Which JDK did you choose to install?
It didn't get that far. No GUI will launch at all.
I chose the default, I think it was openjdk.
Well, the only help I can probably be is to say that I'm able to get it to run in VirtualBox on Wayfire and the default JDK is jre-openjdk 17.0.u12-1, for any others that may be able to help!
Do you have a particular preference to this downloader? Personally I prefer to avoid Java apps if possible and there are other options, perhaps you could use a different one until / incase someone comes along with a resolution.
Interesting--I'm not sure why it would be like this. I had the xfce edition installed and jdownloader ran fine and I had installed it the same way via the setup assistant.
I like jdownloader simply because of the sheer number of websites it supports. I use a lot of third party websites that don't have a dedicated downloader that works with them. Namely downloading video clips from them.
Please pop bits like that, your terminal output and my success with a virtual Wayfire (FWLIW) in the OP to save the appropriate devs/helpers time finding the informative bits of information.
Have you rebooted lately?
Yes. I've since rebooted and the problem remains.
