Posted April 25, 2011 Well, I've fixed Sun Java and it runs well with other programs, but it won't launch Wurm. I'm using the wurm.jnlp as a launch, and it gives me 3 options: Run, Run in Terminal, and Display Run and Display do nothing, and Run in Terminal, well, runs it in the terminal. I'm not entirely sure where to start, and help would be appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2011 what other java applications did you test with? could you please give us the output of sudo update-alternatives --display java and sudo update-alternatives --display javaws also what happens if you run "javaws http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlp" in a terminal window.

Posted April 25, 2011 Well, it gives me the code. I could copy-paste that for you, EDIT: It used to give me a code, now it opens then closes terminal, but here are the other things you asked for:sudo update-alternatives --display java link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java - priority 1061 slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/man/man1/java.1.gz/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java - priority 63 slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/man/man1/java.1.gzCurrent 'best' version is '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java'.sudo update-alternatives --display javawsjavaws - auto mode link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws - priority 1061 slave javaws.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/man/man1/javaws.1.gz/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/javaws - priority 63 slave javaws.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/man/man1/javaws.1.gzCurrent 'best' version is '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws'.

Posted April 26, 2011 you are currently using OpenJDK. Usually Wurm runs just fine with openjdk. No idea what's the problem on your system. To use the Sun JDK by default run: sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java sudo update-alternatives --set javaws /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/javaws after that please try again with: javaws http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 26, 2011 Wait, what? Do you want me to enter the lines into the terminal? Also, I tried using sun java before and it literally does nothing ( Right click > open with > sun java 6 run time ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2011 Great, it launched. Am I going to have to use that to launch it every time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 28, 2011 if you rrun javaws http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlp it will launch the client, yes. the other commands you only needed to set the SUN Java as default on your system. As an alternative you can either create a desktop shortcut that launches javaws http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlp or you can configure your browser to launch jnlp files correctly and launch the game from the website.

Posted April 28, 2011 So uh, how do I make that shortcut? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 30, 2011 The link pointed to:- http://www.google.at/search?hl=de&source=hp&biw=1270&bih=630&q=how+to+create+a+desktop+shortcut+with+ubuntu+linux&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq= Also from windows its fairly easy to make a desktop shortcut/link for wurm, I'm not sure if the same holds true for Linux but here are the instructions:- From java control panel view temporary internet files (or run javaws -viewer). if you have previously run wurm you should see it listed. Right click on the wurm entry and select install shortcut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
