Netbeans 5.5 not starting in Linux Ubuntu

[Casso]

Hello, I have installed Netbeans onto Ubuntu, and I am having somewhat trouble getting it to start. I tried it twice (once through the Synaptics package installer, second time through the *.bin file installer) and I get almost the same result. When I tried the package installer, the installation went fine, but when I tried to execute Netbeans, I got a blank monochromatic window with the license agreement. So I tried the *.bin file installation, everything went fine, but again, when I tried to open Netbeans, it showed me a blank monochromatic window. The cursor even changed depending on what it was supposingly pointing on, but I could not see or do anything... I am using Ubuntu for some time now and I never experienced anything similar...

Thanks for any help...

If you're using compiz, try using JDK 1.6.0_01.  If your keyboard locks
up after switching in and out of Netbeans, then switch to the newest
version of JDK 1.5.  (1.5.0_11?) and set AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit before
running any Java apps.

HTH,

Are you using Beryl? Maybe this is related to your window manager.

If you update to Ubuntu 7.04 (Fiesty Fawn), which released yesterday,
its multiverse distribution has packages for JDK 6, NetBeans 5.5,
GlassFish, and Apache Derby:

With these packages, you don't have to hassle with installation on
Ubuntu any more.

Between Sun's cooperation with Ubuntu and Novell's with M****S***, you
may seduce me away from SUSE... :)

Do you have "Desktop Effects" enabled on your system ?
I have blank screen of Netbeans when I have that effects on. Turning
that off fixes the problem on mine ( Ubuntu beta 7.04 ).

Not sure if this is fixed on official release of Ubuntu 7.04. I could
not download it because of zillions of connection on the download sites.

Not exactly NB related, but any reason the packages on newer versions of
Ubuntu are not also included on the older versions (namely 6.06 (dapper
drake))? I don't think I saw those anyway.

AFAIK, older distributions are not under active development, so new
packages aren't generally added.  You'll probably get a better answer on
an Ubuntu forum, however.

Installed Netbeans5.5 java 6, JDK1.6.0 on Kubuntu 7.04 amd64
building java packages and creating Gui application.

No problems so far: But Netbeans does think I am running
2.6.20-14-generic i386 in the about detail screen.

really I am running 2.6.20-14-generic #2 SMP Mon Apr 2 16:32:46 UTC 2007
x86_64 GNU/Linux

No matter its working great.

Hi, as far as I am concearned, I did try disableing all desktop effects, but I still get the same result...

Anyway, I will try out the new 7.04 Ubuntu.

Thanks for all your replies.

Hi,

I get similar results (blank window), when using Beryl. With compiz, everything seems to work fine (though I don't use it daily, only tried once). I'm using NB 6.0 trunk build on JDK 1.6.0.

BTW, make sure you disabled the right thing: it's located in the Ubuntu's System menu -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects. Just unpress the toggle-button there.
