java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/jdk17/lib/libawt_xawt.so: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Question

I don't understand what went wrong with me. I'm trying to run Spigot Server Core 1.18.2, and I'm constantly having problems with this library.

Answer 1

This problem seems to stem from Java attempting to load GUI-related classes in non-gui environment, like headless server. Perhaps adding -Djava.awt.headless=true to java command would help, if the application supports that, and does not in fact require to run in Desktop environment.
