Interestingly, having done the above I found my other issue came back: [https://community.dhis2.org/t/png-pdf-download-with-dhis-2-and-openjdk/36895](https://community.dhis2.org/t/png-pdf-download-with-dhis-2-and-openjdk/36895)

I added `-Djava.awt.headless=true` to `JAVA_OPTS` and commented out the `assistive_technologies` line in `/etc/java-8-openjdk/accessibility.properties` (all following much Googling) and this seems to have solved it, at least for the moment…
