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

Question

I am trying to launch Netbeans but it is not opening. I tried using the command line too. But in command line I got the following error:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no splashscreen in java.library.path: [/usr/java/packages/lib, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni, /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, /usr/lib/jni, /lib, /usr/lib]

Answer 1

I faced the same issue in Ubuntu 20.04 and just got fixed after referring to https://github.com/kaikramer/keystore-explorer/issues/130

The problem is missing JRE.

sudo apt-get install openjdk-14-jre

It worked after the installation of JRE.

Answer 2

The issue https://github.com/kaikramer/keystore-explorer/issues/130 referred by @Thirumal says that

You probably had the headless jre package (openjdk-X-jre-headless) installed, which only works for Java software that needs no keyboard, mouse or display.

This was my problem, I executed:

apt list --installed | grep jdk

openjdk-11-jdk-headless/focal-updates,focal-security,now 11.0.9.1+1-0ubuntu1~20.04 amd64 [installed]
openjdk-11-jre-headless/focal-updates,focal-security,now 11.0.9.1+1-0ubuntu1~20.04 amd64 [installed,automatic]

So I've just installed:

sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk

And:

apt list --installed | grep jdk

openjdk-11-jdk-headless/focal-updates,focal-security,now 11.0.9.1+1-0ubuntu1~20.04 amd64 [installed,automatic]
openjdk-11-jdk/focal-updates,focal-security,now 11.0.9.1+1-0ubuntu1~20.04 amd64 [installed]
openjdk-11-jre-headless/focal-updates,focal-security,now 11.0.9.1+1-0ubuntu1~20.04 amd64 [installed,automatic]
openjdk-11-jre/focal-updates,focal-security,now 11.0.9.1+1-0ubuntu1~20.04 amd64 [installed,automatic]

After this Netbeans started perfectly.

But, I guess I could have just installed the openjdk-11-jre.
