From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it-IT; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: Running Eclipse as root completely hangs the system (1 x Pentium4 HT 2600MHz, maybe it's because of the smp). When I run it again (as root, after forced reboot) I get an error message saying to see details in a log file. On that log file there's written as follows: !SESSION 2005-06-15 10:21:08.681 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=unknown java.fullversion=GNU libgcj 4.0.0 20050519 (Red Hat 4.0.0-8) BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86, WS=gtk, NL=it_IT Command-line arguments: -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 -data /root/workspace -clean !ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 2005-06-15 10:21:08.682 !MESSAGE Application error !STACK 1 java.lang.RuntimeException: No application id has been found. at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.PlatformActivator$1.run(java.lang.Object) (/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime_3.1.0.jar.so) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(java.lang.Object) (/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.1.0.jar.so) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(java.lang.String[], java.lang.Runnable) (/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.1.0.jar.so) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object[]) (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(java.lang.String[], java.net.URL[]) (Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(java.lang.String[]) (Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(java.lang.String[]) (Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(java.lang.String[]) (Unknown Source) at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.call_main() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) If I can't run it as root, it's supposed I must install a copy of new plugins for every user... Running it as normal user (after doing all I've written before) I get the same error. I had to uninstall eclipse and all its depedancies, erase /usr/share/eclipse dir and install it again. Now it runs good (only as normal user). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1.0_fc-0.M6.22 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run eclipse as root. The system completely hangs. 2. Restart eclipse after forced reboot 3. I get that error Actual Results: System hang, wrong configuration. Expected Results: Eclipse run perfectly Additional info: Running on a SMP kernel (1 x Pentium 4 HyperThreading 2600MHz)
I confirm, crashes the whole system if run as root. System is a PIII 1GHz mono-cpu with 256Mo RAM and SCSI160 disk, so seems not SMP related.
