Difference between Intel i915_bpo and i915

Question

when I try to start OWASP ZAP, after installing, the following messages appears: "This application requires a Java Runtime Environment 1.8.0". I have installed OpenJDK 11 properly, updated the environment variables rightly. Could you help me, please?

Solution

Phoronix has reported some issues with Skylake CPUs and Ubuntu. There are also workarounds available. Nevertheless, The simplest solution for the time being the author has found (and you are probably not going to like this) was to run Fedora instead. At least for the time being...

Regarding i915 vs i915_bpo, I think "bpo" stands for "backported". It contains some fixes found in newer versions of i915 that get backported to ubuntu kernel to fix known issues/add new hardware support.

Can you post or put a screenshot of those errors?

You should try kernel 4.3-rc3, as Skylake specific stuff was added for the 4.3 series. I am not sure about your specific issue though.

Thanks for suggesting, and actually I did try all the 4.3 series kernels from rc1 to rc3. The problem is, after login, the screen just getting blurred.

What do you get it you run java -version from the command line?

Thank you Chandrapal, you saved me some time ;)

Also keep in mind that the error message also appears when a newer openJDK is installed (e.g. 19). As downgrading might cause other problems, using the zap.bat as mentioned by IDM is still the best solution.
