It's the one references in the jvisualvm bash shell script. Does your version not refer to it? See the line:
. "$BASEDIR/etc/$APPNAME".conf as I previously mentioned. Which resolves to /usr/lib/visualvm/etc/visualvm.conf. It's line 25 of my /usr/bin/jvisualvm. The offending line in the conf file is line 11: jdkhome="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64" This of course overrides the previous setting of jdkhome in the jvisualvm shell script. I wonder why my systems seem different than everyone else's? I have two computers running ubuntu 12.04 and they both have this problem. I just installed visualvm for the first time on the second computer only seconds ago. java version "1.7.0_03" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.1.1pre) (7~u3-2.1.1~pre1-1ubuntu3) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode) Cheers, Paul -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/937710 Title: [SRU] VisualVM does not start with openjdk 7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/visualvm/+bug/937710/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
