Eclipse 3.5 and Ubuntu 9.10, subversion client does not work

Question

Hi,

I had installed Eclipse 3.5 Yoxos on my Ubuntu 8.04 for month, and run fine. I had upgraded to 9.10 last week, and the subversion plugin does not work since upgrade. When I try to update or commit, Subversion work for hours without any progress in console or progress bars. I can delete files or add them to SVN, but commands wich involve network just hang.

SVN run fine using command line. I have already patched the GDK problem. Since this I can cancel update/commit without crashing Eclipse.

Regards
Cédric

addedum: here is the error showed in the Eclipse console after severals minutes. On the same directory the command line run fine.

*** Update
svn update "/home/cedric/www/VOO123" -r HEAD --depth infinity
svn: timed out waiting for server
svn: OPTIONS request failed on '/VOO123/trunk'
*** Error (took 10:43.893)

Answer 1

It might be related to the IPV6_V6ONLY setting - I know that this can be a problem for some Java apps on Debian.

Take a look in /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf and look for a line starting with net.ipv6.bindv6only. If it isn't already, set it to 0:

 net.ipv6.bindv6only = 0

Hard to say since you don't even mention which plugin you're using but if I remember well, I was using Subclipse with the SVNKit Client Adapter successfully on Ubuntu 9.10 (I use Subclipse with the JavaHL (JNI) library again on Ubuntu 10.04).

Problem solved : Eclipse have problems under Ubuntu Karmic (9.10), you have to inactivate Assistive Technologies to sold them (a cash in libpango), and since I had inactivated them and restarted my session, it just fine, SVN included.
