Description:
When installed the package offers no option to sign in which it should. This works using the package from the geogebra website. If I replace the launch script with this package with the default than it works perfectly so this must be where the fault is. I attached the default launch script that seems to work.

Additional info:
* 5.0.286.0
* default config


Steps to reproduce:
Install and run the program
   geogebra (16.9 KiB)

Sorry, I don't know how that worked before. The actual problem seems to be that the java-geogebra JVM doesn't get installed. This also creates other little display issues. I attached a PKGBUILD that installs the JVM however the geogebra executable script needs changes as the JAVACMD variable must be changed to "/usr/lib/jvm/java-geogebra/bin/java", then the checksum must be updated in PKGBUILD.

Hope this helps,

PS. Could a mod please change the title and possibly the original text as either I cannot or am being thick
   PKGBUILD (1.7 KiB)

hmmm, I'm sorry but which java version do you use by default? You can check it by two ways:

1. $ archlinux-java status
2. $ ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/default

Because I'm using oracle 8 by default and the package works correctly. It seems that upstream provides oracle java inside the bundle:

$ ./jre1.7.0_45-x86_64/bin/java -version
java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)

So ofc using upstream bundle solves your issue. According to this I would note that usually we don't provide java components with packages (it is like provide own python for each python executable), so the only thing I recommend you is to use Oracle java 7 or later. And as soon as package works (with some restrictions) with openjdk I see no reasons to change dependency list.

I'm using Openjdk-8, but its started working fine now anyway apart from the "Sign In" button, which I don't really care about. I don't know if a java update fixed it or what, but it basically works fine now.
