I seem to be on the same commit as you. Up to date from this morning, 8am CEST.

D3vil0p3r commented 2 months ago

Sorry, I cannot reproduce your issues. I tested it by using unstable NixOS images GNOME and by using:

export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1
nix-shell -p maltego

or

export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1
nix --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable-small#maltego --impure

seems to work well... Probably is there something weird on your configuration?

@SuperSandro2000 what do you think?

CDaut commented 2 months ago

Do you happen to have KDE or another DE installed? For a friend of mine with KDE installed it worked.

at com.paterva.maltego.java.config.jre.unix.UnixDetectJava.getExistingSearchPaths(UnixDetectJava.java:81)

Something in that line is crashing because something is missing and we can't know what or why because it is unfree software 🤷🏼

CDaut commented 2 months ago

It works in a nixos/nix:latest docker container

  1. docker run --rm --entrypoint "/bin/sh" -it --name nix nixos/nix:latest
  2. export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1
  3. nix-shell -p maltego
  4. maltego
lordkiwiz commented 1 week ago

@CDaut I had the same issue. In my case it was because the config file in my home directory was missing. Creating the config file is easy though. mkdir -p ~/.maltego/v4.7.0/etc touch ~/.maltego/v4.7.0/etc/maltego.conf

After running the commands maltego starts.
