Solved Linux What version of java is needed?
#11
Hi everyone.

I'm a well experienced Linux user, running Gentoo on the desktop and I have the following Javas installed:

Code:
% java-config -L  
The following VMs are available for generation-2:
*)    IcedTea JDK 6.1.13.3 [icedtea-6]
2)    IcedTea JDK 7.2.4.7 [icedtea-7]
3)    IcedTea JDK 6.1.13.3 [icedtea-bin-6]
4)    IcedTea JDK 7.2.4.7 [icedtea-bin-7]
5)    Oracle JDK 1.7.0.60 [oracle-jdk-bin-1.7]
6)    Oracle JDK 1.8.0.11 [oracle-jdk-bin-1.8]
7)    Oracle JRE 1.7.0.60 [oracle-jre-bin-1.7]
8)    Oracle JRE 1.8.0.11 [oracle-jre-bin-1.8]
9)    Sun JDK 1.6.0.45 [sun-jdk-1.6]
10)    Sun JRE 1.6.0.45 [sun-jre-bin-1.6]

Yeah, quite a lot, I know.

I have tested tmm (2.5 and today 2.6) with all of these, but, while they all do show the splash when starting up, only with number 1 and 3, i.e. icedtea-6 and icedtea-bin-6, do I get a working UI. With all other versions, after TMM has started up, I get nothing more than a gray square without any UI.

So in other words, for me, TMM only works with icedtea-6 and icedtea-bin-6.

If I can help debug, please let me know. I'd like to get rid of icedtea-6 in favor of a more recent version.

Thank you! Nod
