Hi,

i was running perfectly sbt in Fedora14 but now i moved to Ubuntu 11.10 and it completely freezes when entering sbt from the terminal. I thought it might be because of openJDK and so i removed it and installed java-6-sun:

===========================

lacramioara@ubuntu:~$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)

lacramioara@ubuntu:~$ javac -version
javac 1.6.0_26

lacramioara@ubuntu:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
[sudo] password for lacramioara:
There is only one alternative in link group java: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
Nothing to configure.
===========================

How could i find details of what goes wrong so that i avoid rebooting all the time i try running sbt after a new change?

Thanks,
Lacramioara
