Thanks for the update, and for taking the time to research, and find a solution. I had seen this, but was not sure if Java 8 would work (the ITD utility specifically says Java 7.1), and I also have Ubuntu 13.04 which does not seem to be officially covered. Will try it out nonetheless. Thanks again. Regards, Gora -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
