Sql Developer Launcher Not Working In Linux

AnnBOct 29 2013 — edited Nov 5 2013

Hello,

System Details:

Fedora 19

Sql Developer Version: Version 4.0.0.12

Java Version:  OpenJDK 1.7.0-40

I can launch Sql Developer from the command line successfully.

/opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh

But when I attempt to use the launcher icon, I receive a SIGSEGV error.  Here is the top of the hs_error.log file.

***

#

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

#

#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x000000317a062e00, pid=7680, tid=140636646749952

#

# JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (7.0_40-b60) (build 1.7.0_40-mockbuild_2013_10_02_16_56-b00)

# Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (24.0-b56 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops)

# Problematic frame:

# C  0x000000317a062e00

***

The ~/.sqldeveloper/jdk file contains the following:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.60-2.4.2.7.fc19.x86_64

***

And my /usr/share/applications/sqldeveloper.desktop file contains the following:

[Desktop Entry]

Encoding=UTF-8

Name=SQL Developer

Comment=Oracle SQL Developer

Icon=/opt/sqldeveloper/icon.png

Exec=/opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh

Terminal=true

Type=Application

Categories=GNOME;Oracle;

***

I'm just switching from Ubuntu to Fedora so this has not worked in the past.

Thank you for any help,

Ann

The solution in https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2594033 worked.  I added the 2nd line below to /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh.

#!/bin/bash

unset -v GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID

cd "`dirname $0`"/sqldeveloper/bin && bash sqldeveloper $*

***

Previously, I incorrectly updated ~/.bashrc to unset GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID.  That's why running Sql Developer from the command line worked, but not from the launcher.

Thanks su.
