WARNING: xTIMEcomposer will crash after ubuntu upgrade 13.04

[pstnotpd]

Upgraded to ubuntu 13.04 raring 64 bit last weekend and just now started xTIMEcomposer. It will crash trying to display web content. This is a known bug for eclipse/ubuntu and affect various eclipse based toolkits.

The commandline tools seem to be working fine.

Suggested workaround: adding -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla to xtimecomposer.exe.ini does NOT work.

I'll raise a support ticket at XMOS as well, but if you're using xTIMEcomposer on ubuntu 64 bit I'd suggest NOT to upgrade for now.

EDIT: If you manage to switch off the online documentation panel before the crash you can continue. But clicking documentation in any of the projects will crash eclipse.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this one. We have managed to reproduce this issue
here so we will take a look into how this can be fixed.
(Strangely, this only seems to be a problem on 64bit, and seems to work on 32bit ubuntu 13.04).

Anyway, as a short term workaround, the developer column can be disabled by adding the
following 2 lines to the end of the xtimecomposer.exe.ini file:

-Dcom.xmos.cdt.disableMozillaBrowserCreation=true
-Dcom.xmos.cdt.disableDefaultBrowserCreation=true

Cheers,
Kris.
