I'm trying to install latest netbeans but installing on normal user results with modern looking gui which freezes after early configuration progress bar.

Running same installer with sudo results in different looking gui which works well, but I don't want to run netbeans on root every time.

This is how it looks: enter image description here

  • Why can't I install netbeans as normal user?
  • What can I do to fix the issue?

I've found solution on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+bug/1520743

If you have a similar problem running openjdk 7 or 8 you need to go to:

/etc/java-8-openjdk/ <-- different for different openjdk versions and edit accessibility.properties. Comment out:

assistive_technologies=org.GNOME.Accessibility.AtkWrapper by placing # before this line

After installing as root I had a similar problem. I could run as root, but running as a normal user would crash. Resetting/removing the user directories solved it:

sudo rm -rf /home/[user]/.netbeans /home/[user]/.cache/netbeans
