unable to load songs since upgrade to version > 8.x on linux

[mimbert]

Hi,

I was previously using jaikoz 6.2 but since some time now (a few monthes) discogs matching doesn’t seem to work anymore.
It has forced me to upgrade to version 8.2.1, but with this version, i’m unable to load any song in jaikoz. The dialog box shows with “loading n songs” but then no song loads. I had already experienced that when upgrading to version 8.0 (and back then, I had reverted to version 6.2).
I’ve tried to “erase cache” in the advanced menu -> no change.
So my Jaikoz is now completely unusable ! I’m stuck with reverting to 6.2, but with no discogs matching.

I’m a registered user,
My OS is Linux debian jessie (aka “testing”, or debian 8.0),
My jdk is (as reported by java -version):
openjdk version “1.8.0_40-internal”
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-internal-b09)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b13, mixed mode)

Tell me if you need more informations (log files, etc.)

I hope there’s a solution!
Thanks in advance,
Matthieu

There seems to be a problem with OpenJdk, instead install the proper Oracle installation, and I think that will fix it

Im not a Linux expert but certainly on Ubuntu you can install follows:

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

I confirm, using the oracle jdk instead of the open jdk solves the issue.
thanks for the help
