pabrown85 YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 2	won't start with new Ubuntu Feb 18th, 2008, 8:32am   I just upgraded my Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 Alpha and now Processing won't start. I'm assuming that I need some library that I don't have anymore. When I try to open the program, nothing happens. What can I do to fix this, or where should I be looking for help? I'm still quite the n00b. Thanks.

Run Processing through the terminal (open up the terminal and then drag-n'-drop the 'processing' icon into the terminal) then paste the errors here. Currently I have: java: xcb_xlib.c:82: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.
	I drink java for breakfast!
