why DS5 ce version got segment falut on ubuntu1604?

I installed ds5 ce verson (version 5.27.0 build 5270014 dated 2017/04/27 10:47:07 GMT) on my ubuntu 1604.

why I got an segment falut when I run the ds5?

  • As of the 20th June 2017, there have been some Linux updates rolled out to the various distributions that might prevent Eclipse / DS-5 from starting.

    Symptom is that when DS-5 is started from the command line, it fails to start and reports :

    Segmentation Fault (core dumped)

     
    Answer

    Until the issue is resolved, there is a workaround described here.

     
    Workaround

    Work-around to this issue is as follows :

    The 'eclipse.ini' file (in <DS-5 Install Dir>/sw/eclipse ) needs to be modified.

    If you have write access to this directory then you can modify the file directly, otherwise take a copy.

    Modify 'eclipse.ini' such that lines :

    -vm

    ../java/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so

    are changed to read :

     
    -vm

    ../java/bin

    and then save the updated eclipse.ini

    If you have modified the supplied eclipse.ini file then DS-5 can be launched as normal.
     

    If you have taken a copy of the 'eclipse.ini' then then this needs to passed to DS-5 on start-up

    This can be done using the '–-launcher.ini' command line option. See the 'Example' section.

     
    Example

    An example command line is shown below that shows a modified 'eclipse.ini' file being passed into DS-5 :


    /usr/local/DS-5_v5.27.1/bin/eclipse --launcher.ini ~/eclipse.ini

     where :

    /usr/local/DS-5_v5.27.1 is the install directory of DS-5 v5.27.1

    The modified 'eclipse.ini' file is located in the users home directory.
