There have been some recent updates to libglib2.0 (from 2.37.3-1ubuntu2 to 2.37.5-1ubuntu1 that I installed on 2013-08-13) and the openjdk packages (from 7u25-2.3.12-1ubuntu1 to 7u25-2.3.12-4ubuntu1, installed today), but Eclipse still causes the JVM to segfault very consistently. It's very hard to avoid this crash, too; the "workspace selection" dialog is the first thing a user sees after installing and running Eclipse. The net result is that Eclipse is unusable in the current state of Kubuntu Saucy.
The old JVM dump attachment probably doesn't apply anymore, since the JVM segfault now occurs at a different address in libgobject-2.0.so. I've attached a new JVM dump that contains # C [libgobject-2.0.so.0+0x19908] g_object_get_qdata+0x18 ** Attachment added: "JVM dump 2013-08-16" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-7/+bug/1205452/+attachment/3775302/+files/hs_err_pid10354.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205452 Title: Eclipse unusable in Kubuntu Saucy (almost immediate JVM segfault) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-7/+bug/1205452/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
