I was wondering if there was something in my dotfiles which was causing the issue, so I tried again on a newly created user account. Unfortunately, that gave the same results as before.
However, I did manage to locate where NetBeans was sending its error output (.netbeans/8.1/var/log/messages.log). The file in question appears to contain a stack backtrace, which may well help to solve the problem; I've attached it to this bug report. ** Attachment added: "Content of .netbeans/8.1/var/log/messages.log immediately after the crash on the newly created user account" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbeans/+bug/1776724/+attachment/5152285/+files/messages.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1776724 Title: NetBeans crashes on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbeans/+bug/1776724/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
