Installing Ancestris on Fedora42

[GedCom]

Hello,
 I have a brand new Fedora 42 with java -version:

Code: [Select]

openjdk version "21.0.7" 2025-04-15
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Red_Hat-21.0.7.0.6-2) (build 21.0.7+6)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Red_Hat-21.0.7.0.6-2) (build 21.0.7+6, mixed mode, sharing)

After unzipping Ancestris 12 from the Zip and chmod , when trying to start from the /bin folder the ./ancestris it results in this terminal message:

What can I do? I am new to Fedora, so need advise.

Thanks

Do you have the application launching or not ?

The warning is known and tackled with the v13.
This warning prevent to use Ancestris v12 with Java 24, but doesn't prevent to use Ancestris v12 with Java 21.
Ancestris v12 has been developed for Java 17, upped version can display some warning.

[GedCom]

The application did not launch (using Ancestris 12).

I deleted the Ancestris 12 directory, downloaded Ancestris 13 ZIP, unzipped and tried to run ./ancestris (I did not set jdkhome to any value, left it as is as a comment)
The application did not start, the terminal reads:

[Zurga]

Could you change the jdkhome path ?

I don't know why it doesn't detect correctly the path.

Zurga

[GedCom]

Zurga,
I added the jdkhome, started ./ancestris vie terminal in /bin.

The application did not start.

It just stopped in the terminal:

[Zurga]

Could you check that you have installed a version of Java with "head" ?
If you have in your list of installed packages only a "headless" version, you can't launch Ancestris.

Try the solution described here : https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/cannot-run-java-jar-file-in-wayland-only-fedora-40/111814/4
sudo dnf install java-21-openjdk

Zurga

[GedCom]

Yes, the only installed version was:

Code: [Select]

rpm -qa | grep openjdk | sort
java-21-openjdk-headless-21.0.7.0.6-2.fc42.x86_64

After running

Code: [Select]

sudo dnf install java-21-openjdk
I get

Code: [Select]

java-21-openjdk-21.0.7.0.6-2.fc42.x86_64
java-21-openjdk-headless-21.0.7.0.6-2.fc42.x86_64

Ancestris is starting. I get the start screen.

Only thing is, that the resolution is strange, see attachment.

Gerd

[Zurga]

Great, you have a big screen.

Normally the zoom factor follow the operating system configuration, but in some cases, it is possible that you have the 1px for 1px display.
In the preferences, you can adjust the zoom factor to better fit your needs.

Thanks so much Zurga,

I increased the zoom to the max of 250% and after restarting Ancestris got a rightsized view.

The laptop has only 14'' but 2560x1600 resolution.

Again, your support is highly appreciated.
