[Salwani Harish]

Hi,

I know that some people already posted this problems but when I try the solutions, nothing worked out for me.
This is my java version:
java version "1.6.0_36"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.13.8) (6b36-1.13.8-0ubuntu1~14.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode)

and this is what happen when i follow the instruction from the readme.txt in the IGV2.3 file

user@user$ java -Xmx750m -jar igv.jar

Hi,

It looks like you have a problem with X Windows, is that installed.  Try running "xclock" and see if that works.   Also, please update your Java to at least 1.7.
