I made a mistake: gnome_url_show is actually in libgnome-2-0 package, not gvfs-libs. Please make sure it is installed.
Still, after taking another look it is weird that your system didn't have gvfs-libs installed. The dependency cycle is: * OpenJDK 7 and 8 "Recommends" libgnome2-0 * libgnome2-0 "Recommends" gvfs * gfvs depends on gfvs-libs By default packages in "Recommends" are installed together with the other package dependencies. Given that you didn't have gvfs-libs I would to assume that libgnome2-0 didn't get installed as well. BTW, there were no changes between OpenJDK 7 and OpenJDK 8 regarding this functionality: both depend upon gnome_url_show symbol being available in a library in the system. Thus something changed between Kubuntu 15.10 and 16.04 that is not satisfying this dependency any longer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574879 Title: Java Desktop.browse not supported on Kubuntu 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+bug/1574879/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
