general/other DBeaver under Ubuntu compatibility

[SantiagoSferco]

Hello.
A few days prior, I installed Linux binary compatibility in my native FreeBSD PC using this chapter of the official documentations:

Chapter 12. Linux Binary Compatibility

FreeBSD provides binary compatibility with Linux, allowing users to install and run most Linux binaries on a FreeBSD system without having to first modify the binary

docs.freebsd.org

Then, with wget and dpkg -i, installed DBeaver as chroot in /compat/ubuntu
That day, DBeaver worked seamlessly, with no issue.

The next day, when I tried to open DBeaver i'm greeted with this error message:

[santiago@t470s ~]$ /compat/ubuntu/usr/share/dbeaver-ce/dbeaver

(process:6274): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:03:48.050: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
/compat/ubuntu/usr/share/dbeaver-ce/jre/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(<unknown>:6274): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:03:48.078: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:1356:88: 'font-feature-settings' is not a valid property name
Gtk-Message: 11:03:48.119: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

** (<unknown>:6274): WARNING **: 11:04:13.122: atk-bridge: get_device_events_reply: unknown signature

I'm surprised that this message because that first day didn't need anything fancy, it just worked.
P.S: I didn't install or uninstall anything between the first DBeaver boot and the next.
Thanks!
