Kinetis Design Studio crashes on Kubuntu 14.04

Mon, 03 Aug 2015 12:01:24 +0000

On Kubuntu 14.04, Kinetis Design Studio (KDS) could be started, but when I tried to create a new project, it’d crash with the following message displayed in the terminal:

$ kinetis-design-studio 
java: /build/buildd/gtk2-engines-oxygen-1.4.5/src/animations/oxygencomboboxdata.cpp:87: void Oxygen::ComboBoxData::setButton(GtkWidget*): Assertion `!_button._widget' failed.

KDS is a Eclipse-based IDE. So I suspect the issue is related to Eclipse IDE itself. (I can’t confirm this as I’m not running the Eclipse IDE on this machine. I know I could have just downloaded and test it; but I don’t have time.)

For Linux users who want to update Kinetis Design Studio (DKS), if you launch KDS as a non-privileged user, you’d have to relaunch KDS with sudo for update to go ahead.

$ sudo /opt/Freescale/KDS_3.0.0/eclipse/kinetis-design-studio

Then to update it, just click on Help -> Check for Updates from the menu.
