TLDR: dpkg -P libswt-gtk-3.5-java libswt-gtk-3.5-jni fixed (plus clean uninstall/reinstall and precautionary clearing of ~/.eclipse)
14:47 < nthykier> +ii libswt-gtk-3.5-java 3.5.1+versionbump-5ubuntu1 Standard Widget Toolkit for GTK+ Java library 14:47 < nemo> that bad? 14:48 < nthykier> Could be; which alternative is providing /usr/share/java/swt.jar ? (ls -l /etc/alternatives/swt.jar should do) 14:48 < nemo> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Nov 9 2010 /etc/alternatives/swt.jar -> /usr/lib/java/swt-gtk-3.5.1.jar 14:49 < nemo> huh. alternatives does libs too? I would think those symlinks would be in /usr/lib 14:49 < nthykier> I am not entirely sure what is up with that use of alternatives, but personally I do not like it 14:50 < nthykier> It also caused bugs like #670756 14:50 < nthykier> try to uninstall the old swt (or update the alternative to point to the new version), purge ~/.eclipse and restart 14:52 < nemo> hm 14:52 < nemo> not really too sure how to do either... 14:52 < nemo> ~/.eclipse has been purged many times already :) 14:52 < nemo> when I check synaptic, only one version of swt-gtk is listed as available 14:52 < nthykier> "dpkg -P libswt-gtk-3.5-java libswt-gtk-3.5-jni" will purge them -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000272 Title: Eclipse crashes at startup in Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/1000272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
