      I used to play TripleA and I loved it, unfortunately for several years*! now my computer will not launch it. I have tried every explanation I've found but still, I cannot launch this game. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS. When I launch the app, I get a window titled TripleA console, a hundred miles of jibberish ending with:
      java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:90)

      I do not understand a single digit of this and just want to play this game! Please help

              @ed-nielsen @Panther should be around soon. We'll ask him and see if he can walk you through some steps to figure it out. He's real good at it

                      @ed-nielsen Can you post the beginning of the "hundred miles of jibberish"? It usually tells more about what went wrong where.
                      Feel free to leave a new bug report here.

                          @ed-nielsen Maybe @LaFayette can say something more to this as it seems to be related to
                          issue 4933 (Debian fork of TripleA, discussion & tracking) which is our related issue for
                          debian bug 911078 (triplea: Fails to start with NullPointerException).
                          At least I assume he can provide an update on the current status.

                            Your are using a way outdated TripleA version (1.9).
                            TripleA 1.9 ran with Java 6.

                            Please try again using either the current stable version
                            https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.5.22294

                            or maybe the current prerelease (in case you want to try it out)
                            https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases

                            Please note that between 1.9 and the current version(s) a lot has changed. So after installing a newer version you should redownload the maps.

                            While you can install and run different TripleA versions side by side the map-files have been changed and you might experience compatibility issues. So I recommend to perform either a clean install or to be absolutely sure to point to different map-directories in case you want to keep 1.9 and its map files for any reason.

                            Also please note that with the newer versions of TripleA you are no longer dependent on a systemwide installed TripleA. The newer versions come bundled with the (at that time current) Java version that is installed inside the TripleA installation and used exclusively by TripleA.
                            For example the current stable (2.5.22294) runs with bundled Java 11.0.6.
