For anyone else with the same issue, make sure you have java 1.8 install. I had 1.11 which was the default on Ubuntu 20 and it causes the crash upon start up.

You can install 1.8 alongside 1.11 and switch between them.

Install it by running

```auto
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre

```

Then you can show the installed versions by running

```auto
update-java-alternatives --list

```

And on my system that produced:

```auto
java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64 1111 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64
java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64 1081 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64

```

Then to switch between then you refer to the path shown in the output of the above command

```auto
sudo update-java-alternatives --set /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64

```

Note, you need sudo permissions for this to work.

Hope that helps someone.
