 |
|
Hello all.
I am having a strange problem with netbeans 6.5 beta running on
ubuntu. Frequently the dialog boxes come up blank. It seems to be
pretty random but I would guess that one out of five to ten dialog
boxes that pop up end up being completely blank. The buttons must be
listening because hitting enter on them does proceed with the default
action.
This happens all over the place. It's not confined to just one screen.
I am using the sun jdk that comes with ubuntu but perhaps netbeans is
using it's own jre, not really sure.
Any ideas? Should I be using 6.1 instead? |

I know that there are windowing problems with pre 6.10. I am not sure it
is related, but the 6.5 recommendation for Ubuntu is to get the 6 update
10 JRE.

This is a known problem when running NetBeans (or other Java apps) on
Linux with the Compiz windowing toolkit. The issue is fixed in JDK 6
update 10 (now available as a release candidate).
Assuming you don't want to disable Compiz completely, you can try
running NetBeans with an alternative windowing toolkit. Most people
recommend MToolkit. For example, here
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Netbeans#The Installer or NetBeans
Window is All White or Blank: Problems with Compiz
or here
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-496205.html
Others reported input focus problems with MToolkit and suggested
XToolkit instead.
Upgrading to JDK 6 update 10 is probably the best option.

FYI
I followed the instructions on that page and it didn't solve the
problem because netbeans is not using the default java install.
After following the instructions on the web page you have to go into
the etc of your netbeans application directory and change
netbeans.conf.
P.S.
The menus look weird in linux without a border. |

I use the daily builds which don't have an installer and just use
whatever is on your system. |

Do the daily builds update themselves or do you have to download them
fresh every day? |

Download fresh, when I feel like it :-)
http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/trunk/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/nbbuild/dist/zip/
This is actually the continuous builds rather than the daily builds
sorry. Just unzip and run /bin/netbeans
