java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64 1069 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64

$ sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64

Step 3: Update SmartGit config

Open smartgit.vmoptions

$ nano ~/.smartgit/smartgit.vmoptions

and add:

jre=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64/

Open terminal where smartgit git is placed . Write

cd smartgit
cd bin
sh smartgit.sh

It will work .
