This crash is caused by a bug in the AMD/ATI fglrx driver, it is possible for the Java OpenGL binding to workaround the issue:
Java 3D is using an internal version of JOGL 1 for its OpenGL bindings that is unmaintained after Oracle have stopped development. Unfortunally this internal JOGL 1 version do now know how to workaround the latest fglrx driver limitations. Fixing electric would require that Java 3D itelf gets ported over to use libjogl2-java JogAmp JOGL 2 that is actively supported. hharrison is working on a JogAmp JOGL 2 port of Java3D here: https://github.com/hharrison/java3d-core By using hharrison's Java 3D work that uses JogAmp JOGL 2 then it would be possible to use the upstream libjogl2-java fix for the AMD/ATI fglrx crash: https://jogamp.org/git/?p=jogl.git;a=commit;h=f2cfb6119a3663715ed2d572643949b3bef58662 ** Also affects: java3d (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: fglrx Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: openjdk-7 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933846 Title: java crashed with SIGABRT in XQueryExtension() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/933846/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
