Java environment broken? [duplicate]

  • 772

I'm on Ubuntu 18.10. Two packages which I'd like to use won't start up. First is pdfsam. Starting from terminal I get the following output:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/scene/layout/HBox
    at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)

    at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:521)
    ... 10 more

Second one is mediathekview. Here the output is as follows:

Fehler: Hauptklasse mediathek.Main kann nicht initialisiert werden
Ursache: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/jidesoft/utils/ThreadCheckingRepaintManager

I had purged and reinstalled both packages and java components, but still fails.

Any ideas please how to fix this?

Kind regards

Stefan

  1. Try installing Java 8 (openjdk-8-jre or your repository's equivalent package) and openjfx. Then select openjdk-8 as the default Java:

    sudo update-alternatives --config java

    This was an issue with Java 9 and 10 noted on the PDFSAM website.
