I get the same java crash bug with open OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime. So it's less likely that it's a java bug.
java version: java version "1.7.0_79" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.6) (7u79-2.5.6-0ubuntu1.14.04.1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.79-b02, mixed mode) relevant Minecraft game output: Failed to open BO for returned DRI2 buffer (1855x1056, dri2 back buffer, named 79). This is likely a bug in the X Server that will lead to a crash soon. # # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007f05b6d7c51f, pid=14131, tid=139664637269760 # # JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (7.0_79-b14) (build 1.7.0_79-b14) # Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (24.79-b02 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops) # Derivative: IcedTea 2.5.6 # Distribution: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, package 7u79-2.5.6-0ubuntu1.14.04.1 # Problematic frame: # C [i965_dri.so+0x3a851f] # # Failed to write core dump.
