I am trying to run replicatorG in Trisquel 5.0, but I got a grey panel instead of the 3d preview area. The replicatorG website ( <a href="http://replicat.org/">http://replicat.org/</a> ) mentions that if one experience that issue, the poprietary java instalation is needed.<span style="font-weight: normal;"></span> The problematic OpenJDK version in Trisquel 5.0 is 6b22. My friend is using the previous version of Trisquel, which has OpenJDK 6b20 and replicatorG renders 3d ok for him.<br>
<br><span style="font-weight: normal;"><font size="2"><font color="#204a87"></font></font></span><span style="font-weight: bold;color: #204a87;"></span>I manually downgraded my OpenJDK packages from 6b22 to 6b20 and now replicatorG works fine.<span style="font-weight: normal;"></span> It seems that some code change between 6b20 and 6b22 introduced the issue that breaks java3d, the 3d library used to implement the 3d preview area in replicatorG.<br>
<br><span style="font-weight: normal;"><font size="2"><font color="#204a87"></font></font></span><span style="font-weight: bold;color: #204a87;"></span>I could stick to the old version of OpenJDK in order to have a functional replicatorG, but 6b22 has several security fixes for vulnerabilities in 6b20... :-(<br>
<br>How can we proceed to detect the code change (or whatever else) that introduced the java3d incompatibility in the openjdk6b22 ? If that's not fixed, several people in the DIY community (people who use replicatorG to control 3D printers such as RepRap and the MakerBot ones) will be forced to eigther give up freedom (by instaling oracle-java-jre) or expose their machines to security risks (by sticking to old & vulnerable OpenJDK 6b20).<br>
