Tablet does not work on the SELinux enabled Ubuntu 25.04 #18
Description
Hello, I was trying to install tablet on a regular install of Ubuntu 25.04 earlier today but failed as followed:
$ bash tablet_linux_x64_1_21_02_08.sh
Unpacking JRE ...
Starting Installer ...
libjvm.so preloadLibrary(/home/ubuntu/Downloads/tablet_linux_x64_1_21_02_08.sh.5974.dir/jre/lib/compressedrefs/libj9vm29.so): /home/ubuntu/Downloads/tablet_linux_x64_1_21_02_08.sh.5974.dir/jre/lib/compressedrefs/libj9vm29.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Invalid argument
libjvm.so failed to load: j9vm29
a more verbose debugging output is the following:

In the end we resorted to the windows version (this was only a university exercise) but as Ubuntu is quite common I thought this is something that you might want to fix 🤔
