Overture tool on Debian crashes everytime


I have installed Debian 7 on my computer. I installed Overture tool by downloading and extracting the .zip file. Every time I try to run Overture I get the following error message:

    # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
    #

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Thanks!


Solution

  • There is an easy solution that you can find here

    Basically, SWT_GTK3 has to be set to 0 before running Overture. Hence, we can execute the following:

    $ export SWT_GTK3=0 && ./Overture

    Thanks for your help!
