Details

Description:
Eclipse and Netbeans both crash on startup with nvidia 349.16-1 installed.

Reverting back to nvidia 346.59-1 solved the issue for me. Not related to JDK, tested both OpenJDK and OracleJDK.


Additional info:
* Logfiles attached.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install nvidia 349.16-1
2. Try to start Eclipse or Netbeans from terminal
3. Exception printed out in terminal/log file
   openjdk8_netbeans.hs_err_pid6... (78.2 KiB)
   openjdk8_eclipse.hs_err_pid59... (59.3 KiB)
   oracle_jdk8_netbeans.hs_err_p... (78.5 KiB)
   oracle_jdk8_eclipse.hs_err_pi... (59.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

Precisely the same issue with Intellij Idea. Reverting helps, JDK doesn't matter. See the log file attached. I tried to get the log at the location provided, but there was no such file.
   intellij.log (0.8 KiB)

Dunno what I can possibly do here with my mighty packaging powers. Any clue?

I think this topic is somehow related: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1522517

If they really are, this bug doesn't affect only java applications but basically everything that uses libEGL. Installing intel-ucode package seems to have fixed the issue for a user who traced it back to HLE ops.

Thanks Marius!

Installing the intel-ucode package (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/intel-ucode/),
and after that updating grub as instructed in the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Microcode) solved the issue for me as well.

No issues with nvidia 349.16-1 installed.

Glad it's working for you now :)

Nonetheless we should think about reporting this upstream.
