Fwd: HostServices on Linux Ubuntu 14.04 trusty

My problem is getHostServices().showDocument does nothing at all in Ubuntu
10.4

Have you tried using Desktop?
as in
if(Desktop.isDesktopSupported()) Desktop.getDesktop().open(docFile);

That also works for me on Windows and Mac but causes a system crash in
Ubuntu so I am no better off.
Regards
John Maton
