Actually this is not a Java programming question, but I don't see where it would belong otherwise:
Xilinx Vivado 2018.03 comes with an own java environment and runs fine on a system with Ubuntu 18.04.
Now I'm switching to Arch Linux.
Originally, the Vivado installer worked, and I could start the application.
After a reboot (and maybe a first pacman system upgrade), Vivado crashes at startup.
start_gui
Exiting Vivado with a status code -1 at 1/21/21, 9:24:37 PM CET...
Also the installer crashes.
Logfiles show Java eror messages (see below).
Vivado 2020.02 works just fine on the Arch system, but in my project I'm supposed to use Vivado 2018.03 for compatibility reasons.
Maybe someone can help out what's the origin of the Java error, which could help me to fix it.
Given the error messages, my guess is that it is some problem with the graphic environment (Xorg, XFCE4):
