Ive updated to the most recent build, but I am still experiencing crashes whenever I do anything with OpenGL Window (Scene Viewer). (right click and try to close, try to pop out of the tab into new window, window->reset, etc…) jMP becomes unresponsive and I have to go into system monitor to kill the process. The CPU does NOT jump to 100% when it freezes.
When I first installed the platform, the scene viewer showed a globe and it worked (although I had no idea what it was supposed to do at that time). Now when I fire up jMonkeyPlatform Alpha-4 I immediately get :
Error in scene! (java.lang.illegalStateException: Display not created)
[OK]
and
Error in scene!
Error in scene! (java.lang.illegalStateException: Keyboard must be created before you can poll the device) [note : this is new since the update, and the keyboard works fine]
[OK]
and
Error in scene! (org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: X Error - disp: 0x95cca80 serial: 44 error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) request_code: 1 minor_code:0)
[OK]
A small test app I wrote (renders a textured, rotating cube) runs fine.
System info : (shes a little old but solid otherwise)
OS : Ubuntu (Karmic)
ram : 1.5GB
Video Card : Nvidia GeForce FX 5200
java version “1.6.0_20”
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.8) (6b20-1.9.8-0ubuntu1~10.04.1)

Plenty of HD space (>90GB free)
Here are some error messages from before the update :

A bit frustrated, as this has been something I have been hitting as hard as I know how to for the better part of 2 days. Otherwise, I freaking love this platform.
Continued efforts (may as well treat this as a log lol)
on a whim, I ran
sudo ./jmonkeyplatform
I get the same errors, but I can at least click on the sceneviewer tab without it freezing up the whole platform, although this* just displays a blank (empty) content area.
*EDIT : I believe this is because I at one point chose [Disable Modules and Continue] at one point.
uninstalled jME platform, reinstalling....
Upon trying to run the shortcut, I get : Warning - could not install some modules..., with the option to [Disable Modules and Continue]. I chose to Exit at this point.
Ok, I can get it to work, and replicate the problem. It boils down to me being a linux noob.
To recreate the problem from a fresh install :
It creates a shortcut in Applications -> Other -> jMonkeyPlatform. If you add that to your quick launch bar (right click it -> Add this launcher to panel), and then look at the properties of that new link (right click the link on the quick launch bar -> Properties), then you can see the Command parameter this is being launched with. (/bin/sh "/usr/local/jmonkeyplatform2/bin/jmonkeyplatform" on my system). Clicking that (or running ./(that command) from terminal) cause it to break as I have described above.
To fix :
Open up terminal.
cd /usr/local/jmonkeyplatform2/bin [the path to where jmonkeyplatform.sh is]
sudo ./jmonkeyplatform
voila! It works! (at least the globe thing shows up, and you can click on the window w/o it crashing)
In summary :
Try running it with root privileges from terminal.
I bet there are things mentioned here that would make a real linux user cringe, (for example I think running stuff with root may be a nono), but hey, Im a noob lol.

Yes, Linux has some problems lately which are high on the list before beta release. Thanks for the detailed feedback.
No prob, I love this framework. Im gonna build something awesome with it.
