** Description changed: - A few Java programs have issues with the package fonts-symbola.

While projects like Eclipse did not, and Jetbrains, Android Studio, and Netbeans did. • It does not seem product facing but instead package facing due to trying to run certain code even under a jshell session. - • It does not seem to come directly from Java due to multiple versions being affected. 21 and 17 were used. Although user code may be improved to work around this error, it seems a simple removal of the package fixes the issue as shown below. + • It does not seem to come directly from a Java version due to multiple versions being affected. 21 and 17 were used. Although user code may be improved to work around this error, it seems a simple removal of the package fixes the issue as shown below. Attached are 3 crash logs in text format. Each of the different instances fail due to font issues with fonts-symbola. The exception Java runs into is: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.startsWith(String)" because "platName" is null I expect that Java should not have font issues against a addition or removal of a font, and is determined not to be by a specific product but even code running in the jshell_crash.txt file itself which shows the cleanest demonstration of the bug. The following fixes the error in Java UIs: • sudo apt purge fonts-symbola. • sudo rm -rf /var/cache/fontconfig/ && sudo fc-cache -f -v - LSB description: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Release: 24.04 - Package info: + Package info: • fonts-symbola: - Installed: 2.60-1.1 - Candidate: 2.60-1.1 - Version table: - *** 2.60-1.1 500 - 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/universe amd64 Packages - 500 https://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/ubuntu noble/universe amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 2.60-1.1 + Candidate: 2.60-1.1 + Version table: + *** 2.60-1.1 500 + 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/universe amd64 Packages + 500 https://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/ubuntu noble/universe amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 24.04 Package: fonts-symbola 2.60-1.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.8.0-41.41-generic 6.8.12 Uname: Linux 6.8.0-41-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs ApportVersion: 2.28.1-0ubuntu3.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Thu Aug 22 23:11:37 2024 Dependencies: - + PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: ttf-ancient-fonts UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Summary changed: - Symbola Causes Java platName nullpointer + Symbola Causes Java platName Nullpointer -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2077699 Title: Symbola Causes Java platName Nullpointer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2077699/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
