Hey there! First of all, awesome to have another linux user here. Welcome to the family! To your problem: First of all, install Java 8. From what I have read, Java 9 isn't recommended. So, make sure to remove all of the other Java installations. A command that I normally use to install java with is: Code: sudo apt-get install default-jre That should install OpenJDK. If that doesn't work, undo that and try: Code: sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre OpenJDK should be A-OK, atleast it always worked for me. If not already done, make sure to get the proper drivers for your GPU, which you can normall find under "Other Software" > "Proprietary Driver" If you are rather the Oracle Java fan, you can install it from another source: (always make sure to trust the source, but it worked for me also) Install Oracle Java 8 In Ubuntu Or Linux Mint Via PPA Repository [JDK8] ~ Web Upd8: Ubuntu / Linux blog Then try doing Code: java -version , and it should show you Oracle Java. If you need any help or if it worked, just reply, I am here to help. #AllHailLinuxGaming Syllogistics out.
I attempted first default-jre which put in OpenJava 9. which didnt work in the first place after i uninstalled openjava 9 so i removed it using apt. done. then I thought well i can manually install OpenJava 8. but i don't think that'll work so i skipped to Oracle Java java -version java version "1.8.0_101" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_101-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.101-b13, mixed mode) up and running the client seems to be stable, I will see . hopefully the Nvidia card is running with it.
Excellent, I love to see a running and happy linux gamer Feel free to ask any questions and/or leave me a PM. Have a nice day Syllogistics out. #AllHailLinuxGaming
just use the oracle JRE, there's linux binaries, OpenJDK is the same thing as the normal JDK iirc aswell
