I know this seems to be covered a lot but I can't seem to follow any of the guides to get this to work.
I remember I had a version working on a previous PC (albeit with a white bar at the bottom)
Can one of you smart people please post step-by-step guide for new installations of java and using .jnlp files with Ubuntu. Please include any pre-requites (purging versions, how to 'manually' install OracleJDK etc etc) in the guide.
I just wanna play on my Linux PC!
Thanks in advance |

I am a very basic linux mint user. I don't feel able to guide you with purging and other technical issues. Mostly by searching forums and copy-pasting the sudo apt-get code I've been surviving.
I want to share with you this link: https://openwebstart.com/download/ which I found easy to play with. You install it and then try specting a game. On my new installation I didn't have to worry about old java versions or things like that.
Unfortunately, there's still the awkward bar at the bottom... |

I don't have a comprehensive guide as I had to bungle an upgrade from IcedTea, but OpenWebStart has been the way to go for me too.
Download and install the .deb file from terminal using:
sudo apt install ./filename.deb
In the .profile file of my logged in user I added
unset -v GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID
This post: https://fumbbl.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=759863#759863 talks about needing other variables, but I don't have them set. |
