An issue with openjdk 10 prevents jitsi from running on debian derivatives (including ubuntu bionic) where the system is configured to run the java binary from openjdk 10 (see bug jitsi#530). Unfortunately, this is the default for ubuntu bionic. Let the user decide which jre to use with jitsi via shell variable JITSI_JRE_HOME, so that it is possible to install Java 8 on ubuntu and use it with jitsi, without having to make the whole system default to Java 8 or without forcing the user to edit the jitsi script. For instance, with this patch, one can say: JITSI_JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64/jre jitsi
