blackcorsair / install-jdk-on-steam-deck Goto Github PK

Hello,

I want to use a java game that only accepts Java 8, is there any way to undo this installation?

So I was confused when you said "Exec a checksum of the file using the official sha256 checksum"
I assumed it ment copy the linux link and paste it into a the terminal and run it. Which I did and it said it successfully installed but how do I run my .jar file now that it is installed?

Hello. After installation tried to use source ~/.bashrc to activate java, but nothing happens.

i wan't able to run a shell script with java inside by double clicking. unless i added "[[ -f ~/.profile ]] && source ~/.profile" to .bash_profile. also to run a jar by double clicking I need to fix java.desktop "Exec=/home/deck/.local/jdk/jdk1.8.0_391/bin/java" by adding "-jar %f" like "Exec=/home/deck/.local/jdk/jdk1.8.0_391/bin/java -jar %f"

Ok so you lost me at Environment Variables. Am I supposed to create a folder .profile? Because there isn't one there now. I tried educating my self on environment variables but not sure I am supposed to use them in context with what we are doing here. I don't suppose you have video tutorial?

I am getting this when I try to run
java myfile.jar
Any thoughts?

Greetings!

Could you add support for JDK8?

Maybe choose at the start of the script or a completely different script?

Hello,

I am not very experienced Linux user as most of Steam Deck owners.
I tried installing Java via your script and noticed a small issue where I got a warning, here is the complete Konsole output of the installation:

JDK downloaded and extracted into /home/deck/.local/jdk
Setting environment variables if not already set
grep: /home/deck/.profile: No such file or directory
Checking that java is properly installed...
java version "17.0.8" 2023-07-18 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.8+9-LTS-211)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.8+9-LTS-211, mixed mode, sharing)
Java is succesfully installed!
To activate your java installation execute the following:

        source ~/.bashrc


Done

I noticed the issue caused by changing my Steam Deck name, so /home/deck/ became like /home/Bahamin-s-Deck/.
EDIT: I was wrong and the directory is not related to the device name, so it's still /home/deck/ after a double check

And as the result I am encountering unexpected behavior on every command I send to the Konsole.

The first command I have used was the command I was supposed to use after installation to activate Java:

(deck@Bahamin-s-Deck ~)$ source ~/.bashrc
bash: PROMPT_COMMAND: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
bash: PROMPT_COMMAND: line 3: `__steamos_prompt_command '(\[\033[1;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[1;34m\] \W\[\033[0m\])\$ '; __steamos_prompt_command '(\[\033[1;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[1;34m\] \W\[\033[0m\])\$ '; __steamos_prompt_command '(\[\033[1;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[1;34m\] \W\[\033[0m\])\$ '; ; '

So it doesn't matter what command I use at Konsole, I'll always get this error even if its ls command;
What would you suggest to do to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
After some search on the internet I found this page on github and I cannot thank you enough for creating the script. No one did a video about this on YouTube so a lot of people probably won't even bother to search for the Github page. Am I allowed to create a video showing off how to install java on the Steam Deck? If not I would highly suggest you make one yourself
