Posted May 27, 2019 Hello, I've installed Xubuntu 18.04.2 on my new computer but can't manage to find a java both compatible with Linux AND Wurm Online. I've tried many things but the farthest i've manage to get is the very beginning of the launching of WO. I do not even manage to get the window to clic on "Play". I'm stucked and stop trying because i believe i'll end up scrapping my PC at this rythm. Anyone can help me find a solution? and explain it step by step, details, etc Thank you very much in advance, Illusion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 27, 2019 I've read that WO doesn't like the jdk version but even with the jre which i've tried (and desinstalled, don't remember which version), didn't manage to make it work out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 27, 2019 We don't support OpenJDK. While you might have some luck running the preview client with it ( http://wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient_preview.jnlp ), it's recommended to get Oracle JRE from https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 27, 2019 I've tried to install jre: https://www.noelshack.com/2019-22-1-1558989148-capture-d-ecran-2019-05-27-22-31-49.png However I've got this message when i try to launch WO: L’exécution du processus fils « javaws » a échoué (Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type) Translation => Javaws failed because can't find it. Maybe it's in the wrong place? I need to move my files? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it's in the wrong place? I need to move my files? dont use openjdk. install oracle jdk. period. openjdk, among other incompatibilities, doesn't include javaws.

Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Make sure that it was the 64 bit version: jre-8u211-linux-x64.tar.gz Copy all the files to under jre8_211 to /usr/java/jre1.8.0_211 and make a symlink /usr/java/latest like this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 22. Nov 2018 /usr/java/latest -> /usr/java/jre1.8.0_211 Create an icon on desktop for Wurm : Name "Wurm Online [Stable]" Comment "Wurm Online Client" Command "/usr/java/jre1.8.0_211/bin/javaws -localfile -J-Djnlp.application.href=http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlp" Edit: On my other linux box, the command is simply : /usr/java/latest/bin/javaws "http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlp" Further on, you may consider the installation of the jre-8u211-linux-x64.rpm instead of the .tar.gz (it puts all stuff to /usr/java and you have not to care, also takes care of newer versions) : Follow these instructions to be able to handle RPM packages: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-an-rpm-package-on-ubuntu-linux/ Edited May 28, 2019 by Ekcin correction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
