Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Maybe try Technical Support/Linux Issues http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/forum/132-linux-issues/ (Use REPORT and ask a moderator to move the thread for you) More linux geeks in that subforum than in game guides. (Maybe.) They seem to peek in often and troubleshoot. Edited December 5, 2015 by Brash_Endeavors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 6, 2015 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?

Posted December 9, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
