More precisely: "any Java/Swing/AWT app does not run on your 64-bit Unbuntu". --> Your problem looks very much like this one: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6511454 If you have forced the use of MToolkit, remove it. Otherwise, force the use of the XToolkit (I'm not sure which one is used with Java 1.6): export AWT_TOOLKIT=XToolkit --> See also: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504524 --- This seems to happen across a wide range of applications, and MToolkit is needed to make Java show any UI items with newer Xorg. Given then ubiquity of amd64, this really makes Java unsuitable for release, I think. It's non-free anyway. --- > Benoit Maisonny a ?crit : >> Generally speaking, I found the 64bit JVMs to be rather unstable with >> softwares with a GUI (Eclipse and XXE for me).
