Instant Crash in Feisty

From Miro User Documentation

Jump to: navigation, search

Symptom: As soon as the Miro window appears, it disappears and Miro crashes. In the logs, you'll see something like this: 

  /usr/bin/python2.5: symbol lookup error:
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so:
  undefined symbol: PR_NewMonitor

Problem: There is a conflict between Miro and the sun-java6-plugin/sun-java5-plugin packages.

Solution: Use synaptic to uninstall sun-java6-plugin and sun-java5-plugin.

Note: I actually uninstalled java6-jre, and then reinstalled it and had both Miro and my Java apps working properly afterwards. -- Deaner

The issue is intermittent and sometimes it'll work fine and sometimes it'll not work. Some users have tried out the icedtea-java7-plugin and this seems to be a good substitute so far. This is discussed and documented in bug 8444. -- willguaraldi
