Public bug reported: Launching NetBeans7 RC1 from http://netbeans.org/ fails with a SIGSEGV on a freshly installed Ubuntu 11.04 system with OpenJDK 1.6.0_22. The segfault is in libGL.so.1 at glXChooseVisual+0x106eb .
Running "glxinfo" reports: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig ... so I suspect the issue is that OpenJDK isn't coping cleanly when GLX isn't available. It appears that the JDK has been restructured to try to merge the -headless and regular jdks, given that `dpkg -S /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java' reports `openjdk-6-jre-headless'. Attempting to 'apt-get --purge remove openjdk-6-jre-headless' shows that openjdk-6-jre now depends on openjdk-6-jre-headless. This may be related to the problem. # # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0xb0d99e7b, pid=392, tid=3001133936 # # JRE version: 6.0_22-b22 # Java VM: OpenJDK Client VM (20.0-b11 mixed mode, sharing linux-x86 ) # Derivative: IcedTea6 1.10.1pre # Distribution: Ubuntu Natty (development branch), package 6b22-1.10.1~pre1-0ubuntu1 # Problematic frame: # C [libGL.so.1+0x61e7b] glXChooseVisual+0x106eb # # An error report file with more information is saved as: # /home/craig/hs_err_pid392.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/ # ** Affects: openjdk-6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/750994 Title: NetBeans 7 crashes OpenJDK with SIGSEGV in glXChooseVisual when GLX not available on display -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
