When I saw this problem in testing, I assumed it to be the decision of people responsible for the KDE desktop, to not allow a Java application to activate the system's Internet browser. So I would assume it is something configured somewhere for the KDE desktop. I was unsure of what package to file the bug with. If this problem was a deliberate decision, I wanted it to be known what side-effects that decision has on legitimate applications. Other Ubuntu 'flavors' (not having the problem) use different desktops, and (I presume) have different configurations. -- Sincerely, Aere -- 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
