Upgrade from 2021_8_3 to 2021_8_4 failing

Tim | Last updated: Oct 08, 2021 12:55AM UTC

Hi there, When I try to upgrade from 2021_8_3 to 2021_8_4 via the in-app upgrade button (where it asks you to restart), it fails silently. When I download the installer and try to reinstall from the command line I get a Java core dump (this is on Fedora34 Linux fedora 5.14.9-200.fc34.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Sep 30 11:55:35 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) [xxx@fedora Downloads]$ sh burpsuite_pro_linux_v2021_8_4.sh Unpacking JRE ...

Thanks for your message, Tim. We'll look into the issue you are encountering. What happens when you attempt to use the plain JAR file?

Hi Liam, Yes - using the plain .jar works fine. That's my current workaround :-) Cheers,
