[solved] Runescape not working on Buster

#1 Post by Islander »

I've installed the default version of Runescape (0.5.1 from non-free).

When I try to run it, the splash screen appears for a few seconds, then exits silently. There are no error messages on the command line.

Runescape depends on default-jre, which I have installed:

Code: Select all

default-jre is already the newest version (2:1.11-71).

Code: Select all

~$ sudo update-alternatives --list java
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java
Does this mean the package is broken?

When you run Runescape in a terminal, do you get any error messages?

No, nothing.

Code: Select all

~$ runescape-launcher 
~$ 
I also tried installing Oracle Java 17 and setting it as the default JRE, but it makes no difference.

Code: Select all

$ java --version
java 17.0.1 2021-10-19 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39, mixed mode, sharing)

Since Buster is oldstable now, could it be that the Runescape version is too old and it just won't run because it can't connect to the servers? (It was an MMO, right?) But then again, it could at least give an error message. Weird.

That sounds likely. I'll just upgrade my system, then.

Upgrading to Bullseye solved the problem. Thanks, @canci.
