Graphics Environment xhost issue on Fedora 34

[createyourpersonalaccount]

Hello,

I am trying out Alloy for the first time. I downloaded the 6.0.0 release (org.alloytools.alloy.dist.jar) from https://github.com/AlloyTools/org.alloytools.alloy/releases and I get this error.

[user@fedora bin]$ uname -a
Linux fedora 5.14.17-201.fc34.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Nov 8 14:01:06 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[user@fedora bin]$ java -jar org.alloytools.alloy.dist.jar 
Unable to start the graphical environment.
If you're on Mac OS X:
   Please make sure you are running as the current local user.
If you're on Linux or FreeBSD:
   Please make sure your X Windows is configured.
   You can verify this by typing "xhost"; it should not give an error message.
[user@fedora bin]$ xhost

How can I fix it? Fedora 34 by default uses Wayland. Is this perhaps part of the issue?

This is a Linux problem, your xserver is not authorized for you. Are you running this from a shell?

I am closing this since it is not a problem with our software. You can ask for help on a Fedora forum or maybe someone on alloy.discourse.net can help.

Yeah I'm running it from the shell as you can see in the code snippet above. I will ask people knowledgeable with Fedora and report back.

Indeed this is Fedora 34 related. I fixed it with the following steps:

$ dnf install java-latest-openjdk
$ alternatives --config java

In the alternatives command menu, I chose the latest openjdk. After that, I could run Alloy!
