Logisim hangs in Ubuntu 18.04 with openjdk-11

Question

I have tried both sourceforge download and sudo apt install logisim with default-jdk and default-jre. In both cases, I get a white window just after logisim finishes loading and nothing else happens. What do I do? I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 and dwm as window manager.

Answer 1

The problem was with my window manager. I was using dwm which does not have modern window parenting system. According to the archwiki, you can tell the application that the window manager is able to draw the window just by adding the following line in your .xinitrc or other x-window starter.

export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
