Kubuntu beta 14.04 and xTIMEcomposer

Post by teachop »

I set up a laptop today for xTIMEcomposer. Being the optimist I gave the upcoming LTS from Kubuntu in beta form a whirl. When a dialog box is closed, xTIMEcomposer crashes. So I was just wondering if any other adventurous persons had gotten this combination (or any other Ubuntu flavor) running? Thanks.

Yes and it does not prevent this crash. Perhaps the state of ubuntu being beta has a bug in the java runtime. I looked at the logs and it is a segmentation fault from OpenJDK Runtime Environment.

When I "X" out of the import project dialog box is the crash point.

Hi,

Could you have a go with the oracle jre/jdk?

Yes. Crashes the same from what I can tell. Just X out of a dialog box and it seg faults. That is what I get for using the Kubuntu beta! Living on the edge...

I have switched the laptop to a different Linux distro (Antergos weekly build, based on Arch) and applied the fix that Sethu linked. This Antergos+xTIMEcomposer+fix works fine.
