I have this problem of setting JAVA_HOME too using Kubuntu 16.10 and linux mint 18 kde. To solve I edit /usr/bin/imagej putting JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
################DEFINE JAVA_HOME ############################# if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME"] ; then # This does not work see#505315 # JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives -l | grep openjdk ... # Reverted to old version .... # JAVA_HOME=$(dirname $(dirname ...... # Also suggested by From: JR Coding.... # JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f ... # however, this has the same problem JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java fi This works for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556997 Title: JAVA_HOME auto-detection fails due to whitespace in update-java- alternatives output To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1556997/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
