How do I start Burpsuite on ArchLinux using Wayland?

Adrian | Last updated: Oct 16, 2022 02:06PM UTC

Hi, I am using Arch-Linux with the Wayland compositor. I have installed burpsuite from AUR. When I want to start burpsuite from the command-line nothing happens. It just hangs. I have Java 11 installed. Starting burpsuite with XWayland installed works, but then burpsuite is blurred. How do I get burpsuite running natively on wayland?

If you download the JAR file for Burp and use that to launch Burp from the command line, does that change the behavior at all? https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/getting-started/launch-from-command-line If you still see issues could you send some screenshots or screen recordings to support@portswigger.net so we can take a closer look, please?

Hi, my Java version: java --version openjdk 11.0.16.1 2022-08-12 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.16.1+1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.16.1+1, mixed mode) The command to start burpsuite: java -jar -Xmx4g - burpsuite_community_v2022.8.5.jar And then I just see nothing. No console output, no UI launching. I'm afraid a screenshot or capture will show nothing more... Is there any option to turn on debug logs during startup that I can share? Best Adrian

Sorry typo. Here is the command I used: java -jar -Xmx4g burpsuite_community_v2022.8.5.jar I also tried headless mode: java -jar -Xmx4g -Djava.awt.headless=true burpsuite_community_v2022.8.5.jar

Do you see the same if you use a different version of Java, e.g. if you test with both Java 17 and Java 18?

Same except this messages: Java 17 Your JRE appears to be version 17.0.4.1 from N/A Burp has not been fully tested on this platform and you may experience problems. Java 18 Your JRE appears to be version 18.0.2 from N/A Burp has not been fully tested on this platform and you may experience problems. And then again nothing more.
