Back the past, again that's why I blog ...

I had cause to refer back to an old post: -

VMware - Where the X is my X ?

this afternoon, when I saw this exception, when using IBM Installation Manager : -

/opt/ibm/InstallationManager/eclipse/IBMIM

I'm using IBM Installation Manager 1.8.1 : -

/opt/ibm/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl -version

Installation Manager (installed)
Version: 1.8.1
Internal Version: 1.8.1000.20141126_2002
Architecture: 64-bit

As before, the answer was to add: -

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.useCairo=false

to /opt/ibm/InstallationManager/eclipse/IBMIM.ini and retry.

For the record, I also saw the same problem earlier this year: -

WebSphere MQ Explorer v8 and the IBM Integration Bus 9 Explorer
