SIGBUS error with JRE when using eclipse

  • 772

I encountered a SIGBUS error when starting up eclipse. There was nothing wrong before this, I've just turned on the laptop and the error appears:

$ eclipse
#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGBUS (0x7) at pc=0x00007f08bd89063a, pid=4159, tid=139674439165696

# JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (7.0_65-b32) (build 1.7.0_65-b32)

# The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.

Has anyone had the same problem before? How do I resolved the problem?

Is it an IceTea JRE problem? I have tried installing the latest JDK with this: How do I install Java? but it didn't work.

The SIGBUS error in hs_err_pid4159.log is http://pastebin.com/w8YqFJE3

I've also tried this and it didn't work:

alvas@ubi:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

  Selection    Path                                            Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java          1072      auto mode
  1            /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1071      manual mode
  2            /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java          1072      manual mode

Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 2
java

    It's not exactly resolving the problem but I've reinstalled eclipse and am using the latest version so now it's working again.

    Follow installation instructions on: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/06/install-latest-eclipse-ubuntu-14-04/
