Rational Team Concert 2.0.1 on Ubuntu 9.10
Hi there!
Recently I've upgraded my OS to 9.10 and faced a problem of working with Team Concert. Some controls are invisible and some lead to error (for example if I open history tab for some work item). Here are the contents of .log file located in workspace's .metadata folder !ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2009-11-11 16:10:56.244 |

Can you check the version of GTK you're using?
Ubuntu 9.10 might have upgraded the version of GTK to 2.18 and there are issues with buttons not displaying correctly. Try this workaround: http://blog.export.be/2009/10/fixing-eclipse-for-ubuntu-karmic-koala-9-10/ Or you can downgrade to an older GTK. I believe 2.16 should work and was the version used in Ubuntu 9.04. |
I also use Ubuntu 9.10. I tried the workaround setting the environment variable GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS without success.
Is there any other way that downgrading gtk to make this work? Are you aware of an ubuntu package that allows downgrading to an older version of GTK. Regards -Clemens P.S.: Here's the stack dump I get: ============== SNIP =============== ~/jazz/client/eclipse$ export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 ~/jazz/client/eclipse$ ./eclipse Exception in thread "Thread-8" org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Device is disposed at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3777) at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3695) at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3666) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.error(Display.java:1142) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.syncExec(Display.java:4012) at org.eclipse.platform.internal.EclipseRSSViewer$NewsFeed.run(EclipseRSSViewer.java:98) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:810) Exception in thread "Thread-12" org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Device is disposed at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3777) at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3695) at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3666) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.error(Display.java:1142) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.syncExec(Display.java:4012) at com.ibm.ccl.welcome.bits.rss.RSSViewer$NewsFeed.run(RSSViewer.java:363) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:810) Exception in thread "Thread-13" org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Device is disposed at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3777) at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3695) at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3666) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.error(Display.java:1142) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.syncExec(Display.java:4012) at com.ibm.ccl.welcome.bits.rss.RSSViewer$NewsFeed.run(RSSViewer.java:363) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:810) ============== SNIP =============== Can you check the version of GTK you're using? |
Can you check the version of GTK you're using? The workaround did help me to see invisible buttons =) but when I open history of some work item or some sort of Plan editor -> team concert crashes. |
I've been told that the latest Eclipse milestone has fixes for the GTK
issues. One thing you could try is installing RTC into Eclipse 3.6 M3. You can get Eclipse 3.6 M3 from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/. The instructions for installing RTC into Eclipse 3.5 are at http://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/InstallRTC20IntoEclipse35 and the same instructions apply for 3.6. I must warn you, however, that 3.6M3 is a pre-release milestone of Eclipse. I have been using it myself and haven't encountered any problems but your mileage may vary.

Is the problem caused by an "old" eclipse, which is used in RTC?
If yes, are there plans to use the "newer" eclipse? BTW: The easiest work around is to modify the start icon for RTC. Extend the command by "env GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 " that it looks like env GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 /home/hajo/IBM/TeamConcert/eclipse -product com.ibm.team.concert.product |
