Description of problem: After installing Fedora 21 Workstation, I downloaded PyCharm Community Edition but it canno't run with this output error: application cannot start in headless mode. The problem was resolved by installing java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. A fresh instal of Fedora 21 Workstation 2. downloading PyCharm 4 Community Edition 3. unzip the downloaded tar 4. run pycharm_folder/bin/pycharm.sh Actual results: Program canno't run Expected results: Program run Additional info: I think it's related with xorg window
Are you sure this is Java related? The PyCharm quickstart page makes no mention of a Java requirement: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/quickstart/
Go to https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/ and click on System Requirements. System Requirements 512 MB RAM minimum, 1 GB RAM recommended 1024x768 minimum screen resolution Oracle JRE 1.6+ or OpenJDK 1.7+ Python 2.4 or higher, Jython, PyPy or IronPython

I tried running this and ran into the same issue -- the proper resolution is to install java-1.8.0-openjdk (depending on what pycharm does, -devel may be needed to). The inability to run it with only -headless installed is expected as the -headless package does not have the necessary GUI libraries. Closing as NOTABUG.

May be it's not a bug but I think it would be more confortable for users to have GUI librairies installed by default in Fedora Workstation.
The GUI libraries are installed if the Java group is selected during install. The package name (java-1.8.0-openjdk) is listed in the comps.xml: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/comps.git/tree/comps-f21.xml.in
This happens again after an update between 1:1.8.0.72-7.b15.fc23.x86_64 and 1:1.8.0.72-4.b15.fc23.x86_64. I have ever java-1.8.0-openjdk package installed and Pycharm doesn't start.
So to let everyone know: After updating to java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.8.0.72-9.b16.fc23 from updates-testing, this is fixed again.
