Frequently asked questions

1. What should I do if I get error like "QuantumRenderer: no suitable pipeline found".

   (copied from: assylias @ Stackoverflow)

• run the application with the -Dprism.verbose=true flag
• check the detailed log that is produced
• it may point to a missing garphics library: GTK 2.18 is required to run JavaFX on linux

   Linux systems - try this first:

      apt-get install openjfx

   Feodora:

       sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk-openjfx

   If gtk libs missing:

      sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-bin libXtst6 libxslt1.1

   Ubuntu 16.10 (x86-64)- "missing 32-bit dependencies on 64-bit distribution":

      sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libxtst6:i386
