Some more info. The bug I experienced was definitely the sliding window bug. This was definitely and immediately fixed by an update. I subscribe to the proposed update channel so I got the fix early. Since then it has never crashed using Java 6. Prior to the update, it crashed during startup anytime azureus was terminated abruptly (like when it gobbles so much memory that it hangs the whole computer ;) )
Since downloading the patch, the problem has not recurred. Indeed, I now see the sliding notification window on startup instead of watching it crash. since i subscribe to proposed updates, i probably got this patch sooner than most people. -- Azureus crashes just after startup (attempt to show sliding notification window) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68020 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
