JVM crashes when running SOAPUI on Ubuntu - linux

Question

I just downloaded SOAPUI 4.0.1 and tried to run it in Ubuntu 11.10. I run the file soapui.sh. The application started up and the window actually appeared, but then after a few seconds it closed. Looking at the terminal I saw that the JVM crashed. Below are the details of the error:
(process:4183): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.30.0/./gobject/gtype.c:2708: You forgot to call g_type_init()
(process:4183): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed
(process:4183): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Problematic frame:
C [libgconf-2.so.4+0x15b99] gconf_enum_to_string+0xd59
Can anyone help? Thanks.

Answer 1

Look here: http://www.eviware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7736
Look in ..../soapui-4.0.1/bin/soapui.sh:
#uncomment to disable browser component
#JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.jxbrowser.disable=true" <- uncomment this line
if you are usising soapui.sh to start soapUI. If you used installer and using launcher than
in soapUI-*.vmoptions add -Dsoapui.jxbrowser.disable=true
that should do the trick.

This jxbrowser...jar is working with xulrunner-2.8...jar and native code doesn't full compatible with your OS dependencies.
jxbrowser it's used for 'HTML rendering' but works also without it.

It works also in FC16
