ArnaudNux you may not actually have java-8-open installed, check because I had exact same error and had java-8-openjdk/jre installed but not java-8-openjdk.

Working fine for me with JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime Please check your env

For me, java 8 failed, and java 7 worked.

Hi, Please could you modify your .desktop in this manner?

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Jitsi
GenericName=jitsi
Comment=VoIP and Instant Messaging client
Icon=jitsi
Type=Application
Categories=Network
Exec=/usr/bin/jitsi
Terminal=false

in order to provide themeability?

The package seems not to compile against Java 9 (Java 8 works):

login errors are gone, if i use jitsi.sh from jitsi-nightly

Whoever is maintainging this: the startup classpath changed from 2.8 to 2.10 and causes the login failures. You'll need to adapt the jitsi.sh script, look at the script for Debian (resources/install/debian/jitsi.sh.tmpl) for an example.
