The packages for Eclipse Galileo that are in Ubuntu's repositories (3.5.1+repack~1-0ubuntu1) do crash in Ubuntu, but do run in Kubuntu.
An example (that is not the only way of making Eclipse crash in Ubuntu in this way): On Kubuntu: Install Eclipse with K package manager or whatever. Launch Eclipse Click "Help" - "Install new software" Setup Galileo repo Select section "Programming Languages" Select "Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools" Click "Next" (Eclipse calculates dependencies, then shows you the packages you are going to install) Click "Finish" (Eclipse downloads and installs CDT). On Ubuntu: Install Eclipse with Synaptic. Launch Eclipse Click "Help" - "Install new software" Setup Galileo repo Select section "Programming Languages" Select "Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools" Click "Next" (Eclipse calculates dependencies, then shows you the packages you are going to install) Click "Finish" (Eclipse crashes and disappears). If on Ubuntu Eclipse was launched from a console, at the moment it crashes you get this console output: # # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00277856, pid=6258, tid=3079112384 # # JRE version: 6.0-b16 # Java VM: OpenJDK Client VM (14.0-b16 mixed mode, sharing linux-x86 ) # Distribution: Ubuntu karmic (development branch), package 6b16-1.6.1-1ubuntu3 # Problematic frame: # C [libpango-1.0.so.0+0x23856] pango_layout_new+0x36 # # An error report file with more information is saved as: # /home/nacho/hs_err_pid6258.log # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please include # instructions how to reproduce the bug and visit: # https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/ # The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code. # See problematic frame for where to report the bug. # Aborted Pixie dust recipes that did not work: * Install clean download from eclipse.org (same behavior) * setting GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 before launching Ubuntu repo or eclipse.org version (same behavior) I insist: It DOES work OK in Kubuntu. -- Eclipse SIGSEGVs in libpango https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445009 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu.
