Hello Support,
I have weird problem. I try to install program but I do not know what is in dialog box.
I use Linux Fedora 37 with Gnome 42.2.
I tested installation under different Linux systems and it seems that the problem is probably by settings in installation or in WindowManager.
Can you confirm under which Linux OS it goes correct or how/what should I change to see dialogs?
Without any problem installation goes in Windows 10.

The same with sudo ...

Hello,

That looks like a Look and Feel or font issue between Oracle Java SE 8 (bundled with the installer) and Fedora/Gnome. Perhaps the font that the installer tries to use is not available on the system, or there's some font rendering issue.
We test the Oxygen installers with Ubuntu LTS versions (20 and 22 at this time) with Gnome and we have not encountered such issues.

Possible workarounds:
1. Run the installer with the default (non-native) Java L&F: The UI looks very different. It uses the Metal L&F instead of GTK.

2. Run the installer in console mode: This no longer shows the GUI wizard, but runs in text mode in the console.

Regards,
Adrian

Adrian, thank you so much for quick reaction.
It works now correct with these 2 options on Fedora 37.
So I can confirm - it is installed without any problems.
I do not know how many people have similar problem - but maybe it is good idea to add these 2 lines to "command line information box".
In between I test Fedora 37 and have to do some work with Oxygen Web Author, so I will come back if I will find any interesting bugs.
All the best
Tomasz

I've submitted a documentation issue to add these to an FAQ section.

Regards,
Adrian
