Aptana crashes after upgrading to Xubuntu 14.04

Question

I have been using Aptana for years now, and have become accustom to its many features.

It has been reliable up until I upgraded from Xubuntu 13.04 to 14.04.

Now

Answer 1

From what i gathered around the internet, it seems to be a problem with webkit, what did the trick for me was removing the library:

apt-get purge libwebkitgtk-1.0-common

The problem is, other programs like the gimp use that library...

Or you may turn off the contextual help like guyfromfl suggested.

Answer 2

I maybe jinxing myself by posting this so soon, but I have gotten Aptana to run stable for about 30 minutes.

What I did was disable the Show information on hover event.

Turn it off by going to Window->Preferences->Aptana Studio->Conent Assist and setting "Show information on hover" to Off.

If this doesn't fix it I will report back, but so far so good.

Answer 3

open AptanaStudio3.ini and append this line to end of file:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

Answer 4

I have the same issues and exactly the same core dump error since upgraded to kubuntu 14.04. So far i have changed/installed the following:

-Install aplication as http://www.samclarke.com/2012/04/how-to-install-aptana-studio-3-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin/

-Changed gtk2 theme to qtcurve (after installing qtcurve)

-Added instruction ulimit -c unlimited to AptanaStudio3.sh just before main program

Since these changes i have been working for more than half an hour without problems but can't be sure if the problem has been fixed.

Hope this helps.
