(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello,
I just install puppy latest version Slacko 5.7
But when I launch eclipse, when I do auto-completion eclipse crash without error message. What can I do to fix it ?
Thanks.

I have some news, I succed to find the error log generated by Eclipse.
I don't have it currently on my computer, but i will edit my post when I have.

This error appear : "Failed to write core dumps" or something like that.
I've try to start with more memory, to add something like "-unlimit -c unlimited", to change GTK Theme to Classic, and to change the Web Brower form default to Firefox. It's what is saying into other forum which concern this problem, but nothing works.

Then, when I go to Window -> Preferences -> Web Brower, Eclipse close immediatly with the same error.

That's appear on Puppy Linux only; I don't have this bug on Debian or Windows XP.

This might be a RAM problem. How much RAM do you have? Adding/increasing swap may help.

For the record, I have no such problem with netbeans but I do have 4GB RAM.

I have only 512MB RAM on my computer.
But It's work fine on Debian :/ (Often freeze but never crash)

512 MB of RAM should be enough for just about anything to run in Puppy.

I think 512 isn't enough to run puppy + jdk + eclipse.

Puppy running in RAM uses a fair bit and it won't leave much room for jdk + eclipse which are both substantial. There is no mention of a swap partition/file?

Also, were there any error messages when you started eclipse from the commandline?

I don't have any error when I start Eclipse.
I print the memory consumption, on start Eclipse need ~70MB on Puppy, ~170MB on Debian.
And I don't have any crashes with Debian however I have the same available RAM :S
