Eclipse crash with RHEL 2.6.32-504.el6.i686 [message #1448997]

Guys,
We have some users who have updated to the latest RHEL kernel (2.6.32-504.el6.i686) and Eclipse will crash on them when trying to edit a certain development copy. It happens for every developer with this kernel.

The error message is:
eclipse: cairo-misc.c:380: _cairo_operator_bounded_by_source: Assertion `NOT_REACHED' failed."

v1.9.4 of Cairo may fix this, but it is not out on our Repo and it is up to date. The latest we have is v1.8.8.

Can you guys advise?
Thanks!

Can anyone comment on this? I just update to CentOS 6.6 and Kepler SR2. Now I have a development environment which is unusable.

Eclipse will just close, no java output or pop-up error window. The only output on the console is the error message in the OP. The same issue is seen in Kepler SR1.

Edit: Forget it. Found that Luna SR1 has it fixed. I missed this report.

Regards,
Jens.

suffering from exactly the same failure. I'm a scala developer and our project sticks to 2.10.x this moment, which means I could not upgrade my eclipse to Juno this moment b/c of the Scala-IDE for juno is for 2.11.x only (I tried the nightly build for Scala 2.10.x and Eclipse Juno but it failed). Hope the community could fix it asap.

Hi -:)
I also upgraded my System to CentOS 6.6 and I'm using Kepler. I have the still problem but found not much stuff on google.
I tried Luna and it worked everything without any problems. Smile

Is there also a fix for Kepler available? I can't upgrade to Luna because my University is still using a SVN 1.6 Server Sad

Best Regards and thank you for your help

It's theoretically possible to install Subversive with 1.6 connectors into Luna. See https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/826574/

Guys,
One of my users found a workaround via adding "-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false" to eclipse.ini.

I've seen similar with the kernel I'm on (RHEL 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64) but with a twist.

I've had to upgrade to Luna SR1 on a few DELL 6700 laptops with the same issue.

However, i have one laptop in which the Windows Builder plugin goes "bonkers" (a technical term) when in Design mode. The pallette appears to be empty, but tooltips appear when hovering the mouse where templates should be. Otherwise, the templates are invisible. Additionally, the panel with all of the controls that have been added to it is similarly invisible, yet clickable (the Properties panel fills in). Other refresh problems occur when resizing the editor windows.

It feels more like an X dispay problem (the laptop has an NVIDIA K4000M card). However, this is the only laptop with this problem (out of several I've updated successfully) and i've tried the latest NVIDIA drivers (and a whole slew of legacy ones, too). The Optimus setting is turned off.

An error is displayed when starting eclipse:
org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration: The org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration bundle was activated before the state location was initialized. Will retry after the state location is initialized.
org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration: Logback config file: /home/local/user/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration/logback.1.5.0.20140606-0033.xml

Anyone else seen something similar and have a fix/workaround or can point me to an area with more diagnostic information?

The workaround provided earlier (-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false) has allowed me to downgrade back to Juno where Windows Builder doesn't have this problem.

Thanks.

I ran into the same issue attempting to upgrade IBM Rational application Framework from version 3.0.0 to 3.0.1, using the bundled vesion of IBM Installation Manager (which is eclipse based).

I found adding the string to the IBMIM.ini file bypassed the crash/error.

Thanks for the help!

I had the same problem with Nvidia CUDA development tool called nsight which contains Eclipse. I added:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false

to the appropriate nsight.ini file.

Thanks for the help.

The work-around works for me. However, it makes the frame margins in eclipse look pretty ugly. Is that normal?

What exactly is the problem? Is it that cairo doesn't work right on CentOS 6.6, or that Cairo shouldn't be used with Eclipse on CentOS at all?

If the latter, then using this workaround shouldn't effect the appearance of eclipse, right?

Works perfectly fine. I've tried for IBM products like RAD, RTC, IBM Installation Manager and it works too.
