I am running sikuli-slides-1.5.0.jar on Ubuntu 14.04 (32 bit).

When I run the helloworld.pptx example in command line

java -jar sikuli-slides-1.5.0.jar execute helloworld.pptx > helloworld_log.txt

I see this java exception in the logged output.

Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The BROWSE action is not supported on the current platform!
	at java.awt.Desktop.checkActionSupport(Desktop.java:225)
	at java.awt.Desktop.browse(Desktop.java:381)
    ...
    ...

This exception only applies to the first slide which uses the Open action to launch a URL in default browser (as in helloworld.pptx).  

I have tried Open, Browse, and Browser as actions.

If I skip that first slide I can run through methods in sikuli-slides-1.5.0.jar without error.

e.g. I can also use the generate command.

The java version is ...

java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)

How can  sikuli-slides-1.5.0.jar invoke the java.awt.Desktop.browse method without hitting an exception?   

I've tried making (a) Firefox Web Browser and (b) Chromium Web Browser as default browser in turn but no solution.

I did research this exception and found reference to an old (jdk-6) bug here ..

JDK-6486393 : Need a KDE support in java.awt.Desktop class
http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6486393

referring to gnome-www-browser.

The Desktop class apparently is only looking for a Gnome browser. It does not try to look for Mozilla, FireFox or even Konqueror:-( So it fails when you don't run on a Gnome desktop.

I could find no reference to this exception in this forum so I'm guessing that I might have some dependency missing.

I have libgnome2-0 installed.
