Tuxguitar and wayland #438

Closed ed57700 closed 5 months ago

ed57700 commented 5 months ago

Hi dear developer,

I would be glad to see a linux version with wayland support. It only works under X11 which will be retired anytime soon. I usually work under wayland but have since to log back in to X11 as the app won't launch under wayland

Thanks for the great Tuxguitar Kind regards

Hi which version of TuxGuitar are you using? This wayland issue should be fixed in 1.6.3 (see #323)

ed57700 commented 5 months ago

Hi thanks for replying,

I'm using the latest stable 1.6.3-linux-swt-amd64.tar.gz I am using a Manjaro plasma based distro (BigLinux) I'm stuck on a partial screen like below (hope the screenshot displays well)

We cannot say tuxGuitar is not compatible with Wayland, there must be another parameter: I'm using same 1.6.3 version in Linux OpenSuse Tumbleweed / KDE / Wayland without any problem.

This may as well another compatibility issue between Eclipse SWT and Wayland, in the specific context of your distro (?) Since we have updated SWT again after 1.6.3, could you please try the following:

test with latest pre-release, starting with linux-swt-amd64.tar.gz
if it still does not work, try version linux-jfx-amd64.tar.gz

It worked !! :-) with the lastest pre-release master linux-swt-amd64.tar.gz from June 23th. The other one jfx did also work (don't know the difference and what it is for?)

Just to mention that I had to install first JRE-OPENJDK (Java 22 full runtime) otherwise tuxguitar would not launch at all (is it mandatory on all linux distro?)

Thanks a lot for your help dear developers, really appreciate ;-)

It worked !!

Good news :)

The other one jfx did also work (don't know the difference and what it is for?)

It was a choice of the historical developer to provide several implementations, compatible with diverse user interface frameworks. We maintain both. That could prove useful in case we face a blocking issue one day with one of them.

TuxGuitar is a Java application, so it definitely needs a JRE. This dependency is explicit in .deb and .rpm packages, but you need to install it yourself if you use .tar.gz version.

Since your problem seems to be solved, can this issue be closed ?
