When I switched to the `nouveau' display driver, thus enabling glx, NetBeans was able to launch successfully.
Given that NetBeans was failing during the 'enabling modules' stage, I'd say it was crashing when it tried to launch a module that used GL visualization features. Looks like openjdk needs more tests run on displays lacking glx extensions. -- 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
