Since I upgraded to Linux Mint 21.1 ipscan 3.9 won't load due the startup scrip saying I need Java/OpenJDK11+ to run ipscan.
Even when I installed java/openjdk17, ipscan still complained that I need java/openjdk11 to run ipscan

1. Go to 'Linux Mint menu'
2. Click on 'Angry IP scan...'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error Popup script on top right of monitor saying I need java/openjdk11+ to run ipscaan

Use Java 11.

I too use MX 21:

$ java --version
openjdk 11.0.18 2023-01-17
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.18+10-post-Debian-1deb11u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.18+10-post-Debian-1deb11u1, mixed mode, sharing)

@avvy65 can you please run bash -x /usr/bin/ipscan from the terminal?
Also, what exactly does java -version say?

Java 17 or any later version should work as well, but maybe you have spaces in JAVA_HOME or your JAVA_HOME points to a wrong directory?

Hi and thanks for the replies. I have spent 3 days trying to solve the problem with java and why ipscan 3.9 kept telling me to use Java 11 when I was already using.java 11 I eventually gave up with ipscan 3.9 and installed ipscan 3.71, which does run fine with no complaints. I just thought I would let you know of the problem. thanks anyway Rob

@avvy65 please try the newly released 3.9.1

If it doesn't work, then please let me know do you have JAVA_HOME set in the environment and what it is.
