[SOLVED] Problem with Java and Arduino IDE

I've been having a lot of issues with arduino lately.  When I execute it, the splash screen appears for a second, then disappears.

Running it in terminal, I see this.

[jake@arch ~]$ arduino
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: 
#

/usr/bin/arduino: line 36:  3044 Aborted                 (core dumped) $JAVA -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel $SPLASH processing.app.Base --curdir "$CURDIR" "$@"

Here is the /tmp/hs_err_pid3044.log if you think it could be of use.

Upon googling this error, I found this solution.

Here is my arduino script before modification.

Here is my arduino script after modification.

Here is the result

Here are my currently installed java environments.

[jake@arch ~]$ sudo archlinux-java status
Available Java environments:
  java-7-openjdk
  java-8-openjdk (default)

I looked at the Arch Wiki pages on arduino and Java.  Neither of them seemed to mention this problem.  I really am at a lost on how to fix this.

What do you guys think?

Seems okay.

Edit:  Just a hunch..  Is yours an Intel processor.  Have you properly installed and configured the microcode update package?

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with Java and Arduino IDE

Wow.

I am really an idiot.

This was the first time I tried using systemd-boot(relatively inexperienced with UEFI bootloaders).  I didn't read up on how to apply the microcode changes.  I just changed my bootloader to GRUB, which is probably for the best as I have multiple operating systems.

I ran this in an arch-chroot, and arduino works perfectly now.

[jake@arch ~]$ sudo pacman -S grub efibootmgf os-prober intel-ucode
[jake@arch ~]$ sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/ --bootloader-id=grub --recheck
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.
[jake@arch ~]$ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-linux
Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-linux.img
Found fallback initramfs image: /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img
done

Thank you so much.  That fixed my problem.
