When installing [Visual Paradigm](https://www.visual-paradigm.com/) on my Fedora workstation today, I kept running into a `SIGSEGV` error, causing the bundled JVM to crash.
|
|
|
|
This issue was specifically starting at a function call to `hb_font_get_font_v_extents_default` in `libharfbuzz`.
|
|
|
|
## The solution
|
|
|
|
To get VP to launch correctly:
|
|
|
|
- Download the `InstallFree` version of the program from your download source and extract it
|
|
- Download [Temurin JRE 11.0.15](https://github.com/adoptium/temurin11-binaries/releases/download/jdk-11.0.15%2B10/OpenJDK11U-jre_x64_linux_hotspot_11.0.15_10.tar.gz) and extract it
|
|
- Delete the `Visual_Paradigm_<version>/jre` directory from the VP installer
|
|
- Replace that JRE directory with the contents of the Temurin JRE package (renaming the folder to `jre`)
|
|
- Launch, and ignore the warnings
|

~~SEO?~~ I will probably run in to this issue again a few more times, so why not write it down instead of digging through a [crash report](https://forums.visual-paradigm.com/t/visual-paradigm-crashes-on-fedora-36/17562/5) from the second page of google.
