Logisim not loading correctly in Xmonad

mkosler · 2012-10-26 14:27:21

I am having a bit of trouble trying to get logisim running in Xmonad. It's a jar file, so I open it with java -jar logisim. The loading screen shows up correctly, and the window is made, but it is completely filled in with white.

If I randomly click around the white mass I can sometimes select menus and whatnot, which popup correctly, but the main screen still shows only white when I close that menu.

Currently, I need to start another X session with another WM (Openbox is what I am using) in order to use the program.

Anyone have any clues as to what I need to do to fix this?

Are you running jdk7? Try switching to openjdk6. The same thing happens to me if I try to run Logisim in Xmonad using jdk7.

edit: If you want to use jdk7, the following work-around might interest you: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmon … va_console

I'm using jdk7 without any issues in Xmonad and without any workarounds. I think I'm using the logisim package from AUR (which is down currently). Perhaps you should try that.

This link helped for Logisim six years later - with dwm and Java 8.
The solution was:

export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1

Please read the forum Code of Conduct cpdevlist, especially the parts about necrobumping and empty posts.
