Symptom

KDE users on Linux may face a theme related issue where in Zend Studio crashes at seemingly random actions or even fails to start. If started from the console, an error message appears that is similar to the one below:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#

Technical Details

The problem is caused by the incompatibility of the selected GTK2 theme with Eclipse. The problem is relevant to any Eclipse-based product, including Zend Studio.

Resolution / Workaround

A different GTK2 theme needs to be set for programs run under KDE. To do this:

  1. Open the System Settings application (systemsettings).
  2.  Go to Application Appearance.
  3. Open the GTK page.
  4. Switch the GTK2 theme to either "Raleigh" or "Adwaita" and click Apply.
    There may be more themes that work correctly with Eclipse. This depends on the Linux distribution; also there is a vast amount of themes available on-line.
  5. Restart Zend Studio.

 

Alternatively, you can run only Zend Studio with a different GTK2 theme. To do this, launch Zend Studio in a modified environment.

To launch Zend Studio with Adwaita GTK2 theme, run the following command (make sure you adjust Zend Studio location for your installation):

$ env GTK2_RC_FILES="/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" /home/user/Zend/ZendStudio/ZendStudio

 

To launch Zend Studio with the default GTK2 theme (usually Raleigh), you can simply use empty value for $GTK2_RC_FILES

$ env GTK2_RC_FILES="" /home/user/Zend/ZendStudio/ZendStudio
