Trouble installing JRiver on a new Debian Trixie install

(1/2) > >>

anonymous:
My music systems that were working on Debian 12 that I updated to Trixie are working fine, but on my main system I did a fresh install of Trixie and mediacenter appears to have no internet access, though everything else works fine. Using X11 Gnome in all cases, went through new installs fixing libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 issue, but no luck. On another new install tried installJRMC, but only a blank screen is shown. Ran debug in all cases and no output. Perhaps the industry switch to Wayland is resulting in not-up-to-snuff X11 compatibility?

Tried installJRMC on my laptop with endeavouros and it worked fine. Did try other linux distros too, though I know they're unsupported and got the same not-good result.

Suggestions?

Looking forward to when JRiver to switches to Wayland.

Forgot to mention I tried opening the ports and even disabled the firewall and still the same result - blank page

Try to enable logging and reproduce the issue and post the log here. Maybe a dependency is missing/changed in Trixie?

I don't think this is happening anytime soon. For one, Xfce (Bob's desktop environment of choice) would have to support Wayland and that's still years away from happening. Media Center does run on Wayland through XWayland, though there may be issues here and there like small dialog boxes.

So folks have been experiencing some some intermittent connectivity problems with JRiver's servers due to a server switch since yesterday:  https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,140860.msg977728.html#new

This might be complicating new installs that need to download components.  If everything but web access is working I'd bet that's the issue. My understanding is that it should resolve in a day or so.

If that's the case, try setting Debian to use Google DNS as the system DNS and see if that clears it up.
