I’m not sure if I can help you Brian.

Try the Gnome Support forum. http://gnomesupport.org/forums

My Eclipse problem on Ubuntu is that Eclipse keeps trying to use pop-ups when I’m running command line tools. Within an SSH session I enter my command and I see output similar to…

org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles gtk_init_check() failed
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3803)
at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.createDisplay(Display.java:855)

(.:24425): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance
(.:24425): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)’ failed
(.:24425): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_settings_get_for_screen: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)’ failed
(.:24425): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_get: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)’ failed

The reason is generally that there is a pop-up error message. I have to VNC into the device, do an xhost+localhost, and then run it in order to not see the above problems.

Can you tell me a fix for this?

That is more a workaround than a real solution though. It will also give you grief when jvm updates.

You don’t need to reinstall eclipse if you start it like this :

eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java

It should have read ‘- – set’ (without the spaces), but for some reason two – are displayed as — in wordpress. The -s works as well. Thanks for your comment.

Hey there,

I think the command line is not entirely correct. At least it did not work for me…What did work for me was this:

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun
