The above workaround will break every time the package is updated. The correct workaround (in line with what Sam_ posted) is: sudo update-alternatives --config javaws and then choose the number in front of /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/javaws
Of course, this doesn't change the fact that this is a bug that needs to be fixed. Specifically, the packages should provide the package manager with the necessary hints so that the alternatives are always set right (if I understand the software stack correctly). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969520 Title: IcedTea Java Web Start fails to open .jnlp file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icedtea-web/+bug/969520/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
