Kontalk desktop 3.1.2 does not run on Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 (based on Debian Jessie)
I installed openjdk-8 using Debian backports.
The error messages are on pastebin https://paste.debian.net/932021/
Don’t know if this is very important because Debian 9 is expected to be released in june.
See https://github.com/kontalk/desktopclient-java/issues/72 or https://github.com/kontalk/desktopclient-java/issues/93 .
You maybe have Java 8 installed but the Kontalk jar is still executed with Java 7. I don’t know about Debian, on Arch there is archlinux-java to set the JVM.

sudo update-alternatives --config java
