Hi there Now that Oracle has decided to make the Java installation more troublesome I decided to try Openjdk instead. It says on the Elastic support matrix that both ElasticSearch and Logstash supports Openjdk-11. However, when attempting to install logstash using **[https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/6.x/apt](https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/6.x/apt) stable main** it crashes for me. ``` sudo apt-get install logstash Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

Hi Badger Thank you for your answer. I don't see any option to use Openjdk version 8 anywhere, neither in the Elastic compatibility matrix, nor even an option to install it in Ubuntu. If you are referring to Oracle v8 I understand. But I rather avoid using that version given the recent development with the license and installation options. Kind regards, Patrik ---

I guess you did refer to openjdk-8 after all. I looked at it and it's not available on Ubuntu 19.04: > Looking at the matrix though it should be compatible with openjdk-11: [https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix\_jvm](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_jvm) Guess I am forced to use another version of Ubuntu.

If anyone else finds a resolution to this I'd be grateful for any information. Kind regards, Patrik ---
