[Former user]

Hi, rainbow crashes with a fatal error when started:

Those exceptions are very strange. It makes it look like there is something wrong with the Java installation.

This is on Arch Linux.

Based on the exception and symptom, it sounds a bit like JDK-8076445. That bug thread says that running with -Xint works fine, so you might try adding that to rainbow.sh and seeing if that helps.

Hi, thread starter here. Sorry for the late replay, I was laying down with a cold for the last week.

Unfortunately, adding -Xint didn’t change anything. I also tried OpenJDK 7 and 8 but ran into the same problem.

I am assuming this was a glitch. I've never seen this on Ubuntu. Unless we can reproduce this we should close.
