Ubuntu crashed out while using Eclipse

[David Sowerby]

It is difficult to give any useful information - it is not obvious when it crashed - it just died when I wasn't looking! I hope the log file tells you something

1) Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
2)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[fabio (trickfun)]

on ubuntu 13.04 beta1.

I don't know if this will help as I have been experiencing the same with Zend Studio on Ubuntu 13.04 and so I contacted the Zend Support people and I will post their reply:

The problem that you reported is well known and applies to Eclipse 3.8 in general. We have the instructions on fixing it in Release Notes (http://static.zend.com/topics/Zend-Studio-10.0.1-Release-Notes.txt). To sum up, you need to run these commands as root:

mkdir webkitlibs
cd webkitlibs
wget "http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/w/webkit/libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_1.8.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb"
wget "http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/w/webkit/libwebkitgtk-1.0-common_1.8.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_all.deb"
wget "http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/w/webkit/libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0_1.8.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb"
dpkg -i lib*

it now has not crashed since I did this. So worth a try to see if it fits this bug.

Hope this helps

Thanks for posting this - I never got round to trying it, but in the meantime I have upgraded to Kepler (about 2 weeks ago) - and so far have not experienced any similar problems
