I'm running on Ubuntu and the challenge interface is not accepting the output of my java --version command...

The output is:

openjdk 10.0.2 2018-07-17 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.4) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.4, mixed mode)

I checked online just to be sure and it should be right. I've been using IntelliJ (and thus java) all throughout my courses, so I assume java is installed all right.

Maybe the challenge was not written to reckon with Linux users? :-)

Though similar setup as yours, I pass the challenge with output

openjdk version "12.0.1" 2019-04-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 12.0.1+12-Ubuntu-1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 12.0.1+12-Ubuntu-1, mixed mode, sharing)

Perhaps the challenge has updated.
