Re: SH3D on Raspberry pi 4 - problems with GUI
@ UbuntuBirdy
Sorry, but when I see apt (or similar) I remember I spend 5 years to understand that's the problem.
Back to work.
Let's see how to analyze this problem.
1. I talk with You because You have more experience.
2. Short preamble:
2.1 The processor usually (always) are commended by OS
2.2 Applications (including Java) work with OS
2.3 CPU<=>OS<=>App
2.4 So if OS can run a Java application could run every this kind of.
2.5 If don't, the OS complain and report what don't like it.
3. Install SH3D as normal user (not root). YES, I knew You've done already
3.1 Install (same mode) AOI which is also a java.
4. First try to run AOI and see if it work (probably yes)
4.1 Try SH3D to run normally (double click or similar)
4.2 Try SH3D with a clean .eteks/shweethome3d folder
5. If 4.1 and 4.2 fail try to run from terminal and see the massages
5.1 Try the same with AOI if don't work from normal start
6. Java want to be a cross platform which mean cross OS not cross processor.
6.1 When I try to do something in java > 9 +j3d-6 I was informed that j3d are not supported anymore.
6.2 What Java 9,10,11 offer in place is far to be acceptable
7. It's interesting to know if an OS could force an application to use what he what not what application need.
