Since i upgraded to kubuntu 14.04, my Eclipse crashes at different situations. Mostly i can "simulate" it when going to project properties and press ok. Then it always crashes.

My system:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"

My Java:

java version "1.8.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.5-b02, mixed mode)

My ADT Version:

Android Development Toolkit
Version: 23.0.0.1245622

I already tried to add this in adt-bundle-linux-x86_64/eclipse/configuration/configuration.ini

org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

Error:

Now, as soon as i change SystemSettings -> Application Apperance -> GTK -> GTKn-Design to something else but "oxygen-gtk" this crash doesn't happen anymore.

But the application appearance also is ugly. Beside that i get a lot of errors/warnings like that:

(SWT:6148): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_closure_add_invalidate_notifier: assertion 'closure->n_inotifiers < CLOSURE_MAX_N_INOTIFIERS' failed 

or other GTK warnings from the particular design, not having theme-engine.

Which actually doesn't cause any crahs it seems so far.


So i have 3 options:

  • accept crashes
  • accept warnings (maybe the best choice)
  • accept ugly design

What can i do to solve this issue without changing the design settings?

  • Sad, nobody even answers. Cant believe i am the only one having this issue. Aug 31, 2014 at 19:41
  • You are in no way the only one. You just saved me lots of nerves as no other tip helped. But now I am stuck with the ugly UI as you are...

  • One tip: you can decrease the font. Makes it a bit less ugly.

You've hit the following bug that is not fixed yet: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736323 .

Workaround:

  1. Find your GTK2 theme config file. For Oxygen it is /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc.
  2. Edit the theme config file (as root): change GtkComboBox::appears-as-list from 1 to 0.

  • This made Comsol Multiphysics stop crashing on Kubuntu 14.04. Mar 18, 2015 at 11:25
  • This is still an issue with 14.04... even in 2016. Thanks for the quick-fix.

  • Nice, this this a general fix for numerous Java GTK2 programs; in my case the Android SDK and AVD Managers were constantly crashing Sep 28, 2018 at 14:22

Had the issue with Tizen SDK (java) and it worked after I changed default GtK+ themekde-gtk-theme
