    The editor should launch again.

    + + The Taxonomic Editor crashes or freezes in recent Ubuntu versions + +

    In recent Ubuntu versions (13.04, 13.10) the Taxomomic Editor crashes frequently (KDE) or freezes for some time (GNOME). The crashes in KDE are due to a bug which affects all Eclipse indigo (3.7) RCP based applications. Even this bug is currently discussed in the affected developer communities: launchpad bug 1241101, eclipse bug 419729 the cause of this bug is still unclear. +

    +

    In KDE the crash occurs when the oxygene_gtk is being used. Therefore switching to another GTK2 theme is known as a temporary solution. The GTK2 theme Raleigh has been sucessfully used as a replacement to the oxygen_gtk2. You can either configure it globally or set the environmanet variable GTK2_RC_FILES for the application to run.

    +

    + GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Raleigh/gtk-2.0/gtkrc "/path/to/EDIT Taxonomic Editor/TaxonomicEditor" +

    +

    The font size is usually too big in the default configration of this theme. In order to have a nicer font, you can create a file named .gtkrc-eclipse in your user home folder with the following content:

    +
    style "eclipse" {
    +        font_name = "Ubuntu 9"
    +}
    +class "GtkWidget" style "eclipse"
    +
    +

    Finally, to launch the Editor, use following command line:

    +

    + GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Raleigh/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:~/.gtkrc-eclipse "/path/to/EDIT Taxonomic Editor/TaxonomicEditor" +
