I've tried with different versions of java, yet the same error. What am I doing wrong? Related solutions that I tried, but failed: [1], [2]
Solution
jenkins will work with java 8 on mint 20 and 21. If you have different java versions installed on your system then select the jdk8 as default by
sudo update-alternatives --config java
and then open your jenkins config file
sudo nano /etc/init.d/jenkins
and append your java path to PATH variable
PATH=/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin/java
and then restart the service
sudo systemctl restart jenkins
sudo systemctl status jenkins
