i google it and fount i mailed application developer and he replied i have to install gtk3 so i tried following packages

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt-get install libswt-gtk-3-java

even-thought it's not working can anybody help me why..?

my java -version is

openjdk version "1.8.0_40-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-internal-b27)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b25, mixed mode)

i went through https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21185156/javafx-on-linux-is-showing-a-graphics-device-initialization-failed-for-es2-s even-though not able to figure out solution.

any help is appreciated.


I realize this is an old question but I just ran into the same problem with ubuntu 14.04 and trying run thinkorswim. My problem was caused because i was using the 32 bit version of the jre. when I installed the 64 bit version of java the errors disappeared.


I had exact the same problem under openSUSE13.2 with eclipse. Solution was to move the jfxrt.jar file (can be found in Java SE Development Kit 8u45 tarball) to:

/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0/jre/lib/jfxrt.jar

Not to /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0/jre/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar as I did before.
