[rei-vilo]

Could please specify:

• Which version of Energia?
• Which distort of Linux?

[elpaso]

Energia: latest energia-0101E0017 Linux: Ubuntu 14.04 64bit

Update: the second time I launch it, it doesn't show a stacktrace anymore but it's deadly slow: completely unusable, I had to switch back to energia-0101E0013 (that works fine).

[spirilis]

random question, what size display/monitor/resolution are you running?

[elpaso]

4k monitor 282dpi 3840 x 2160

[spirilis]

wow, ok, definitely not a "lack of screen height" issue like I've seen with some! (there was a bug where the Examples folder in File menu couldn't be calculated correctly based on the # of entries relative to the size of your screen, but that tends to throw a Java error)

[spirilis]

Second question, are you using the built-in Java or an official Oracle Java release? I've been using official Java 8 releases for the past 4 or 5 versions I think... I don't touch the Ubuntu-provided stuff anymore.

[elpaso]

java -version java version "1.8.0_66" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_66-b17) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.66-b17, mixed mode)

[RickKimball]

FWIW: I'm running ubuntu 14.04 64 bit and it runs fine. I have the same configuration as you elpaso .. using java 1.8.0_66

[RickKimball]

@elpaso you might want to run energia like this .. to see if there is anything strange about your setup

$ cd energia install dir $ bash -x ./energia

post your output here mine is this:

Interesting here to me was the /opt/mspgcc/bin .. That is not in my path added by the energia shell script

[RickKimball]

@elpaso another question .. which launchpad are you using? I'm using the msp430fr5969. Sounds like you might be using the msp430g2. You might try removing the RX/TX jumper pins completely and unplugging and replugging the launchpad.

I tested with both stellaris ans LP with 2553

Strange enough, I tested it right now and the traceback is gone. The traceback appeared only when launching energia the first time, the slowness seems also to be gone.

[robertinant]

Seems like you got things to work. Can you please confirm so that we can close this issue?

[elpaso]

Hi, the problem is solved for me but I suspect that there is still something wrong: I don't know if there is something clashing with my previous energia installations or what is the cause of the initial traceback (I'm not a Java dev, sorry). You should try to reproduce this issue on a clean ubuntu installation, I'm not scared about tracebacks but some other users might be discouraged and just quit with a bad impression about this software. The reason for the traceback and the initial slowness is stil a mistery.

[rei-vilo]

I hope next release of Energia will embed JRE 8 as Arduino 1.6.7 does to avoid JRE 6.

See Readiness for Java SE 8 #533

[robertinant]

@elpaso, I will be moving the Energia IDE to the 1.6.x Arduino IDE which, as @rei-vilo mentioned, embeds it's own JRE.
