Hello Can confirm this. The Eclipse start scipt does not handle the different dialogs properly.
Looking at it gives me a slight WTF feeling! The beginning: if [ -x /usr/bin/zenity ]; then DIALOG=/usr/bin/zenity elif [ -x /usr/bin/kdialog ]; then DIALOG=/usr/bin/kdialog elif [ -x /usr/bin/xdialog ]; then DIALOG=/usr/bin/xdialog else DIALOG=echo fi The last one is especially cool, since this would echo the whole *dialog parameter list on the terminal! But at least Eclipse would work! But since kdialog uses diffent options than the one this was tested with, it fails. Obviously nobody ever tested this with kdialog. ** Attachment added: "Patched Eclipse startup Script to work with kdialog (will not work with others)" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4938484/eclipse -- eclipse exits with a kdialog error https://launchpad.net/bugs/68385 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
