I encountered this, after having installed Sun JDK for an esoteric purpose.
Turns out I had somehow managed to install the "headless" (i.e. non-GUI) version of OpenJDK. To fix: $ sudo apt-get remove openjdk-7-jre-headless $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk That made everything lovely 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/804191 Title: jedit won't start after installation in Natty 11.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jedit/+bug/804191/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
