VisualVM无法在Ubuntu 18.04上启动

Question

VisualVM does not start after installing it with sudo apt install visualvm on Ubuntu 18.04. It simply does nothing.

Starting it with visualvm -J-Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging-jconsole.properties yields the following error message:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no splashscreen in java.library.path

The problem persists after installing the JDK with sudo apt install default-jdk .

Answer 1

I figured it out myself. It had the wrong version of OpenJDK installed. The "default-jdk" package on Ubuntu seems to be the "headless" version (openjdk-8-jdk-headless). In order to get VisualVM to work I uninstalled the headless version of the OpenJDK and installed OpenJDK minus headless.

sudo apt remove openjdk-8-jdk-headless
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
