Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how to get wurm working on ubuntu 14.04?

 

I installed java 8 but it doesn't run.

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

While in a console/terminal/shell what happens when you type

java -version

you should see something along these lines (actual numbers may vary)

 

java version "1.8.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_65-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.65-b01, mixed mode)

if you don't then what message do you get?

I'm using kubuntu 15.10, so i am not sure the same apply to ubuntu 14.04. Wurm works fine here.

 

Anyway, java openjdk doesn't work with wurm so you have to install the oracle one, wich is what you are trying to do.

 

After you use:

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

what happens? Does it work? I suppose not.

 

If not try adding that repository and then installing it (and purge openjdk to be sure):

 

 

sudo apt-get purge openjdk*

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

And then if you check the version as Gaeron said, it should tell you something like what Gaeron posted. And then you should be able to happily play Wurm
