newbler2.7 GUI does not show on ubuntu

[bioben]

I followed http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8944 to have installed newbler 2.7 on ubuntu 12. All looks good until I run ./gsAssembler under /opt/454/bin. The GUI appeared for 2 seconds and then it's gone, while on the terminal ./gsAssembler is still hanging ...

Other than that, runAssembly runs fine on the command line. I just don't understand why all the command line tools are under apps/mapper/bin/, although that seems not to be a problem ...

Here all versions of Roche suite are running fine, Ubuntu 12.04, 64bit.

Installation isn't that complex anymore, so what have you really done to install the software?

This is probably a conflict with java; I have seen this behaviour when I used java 7 with the software.
But this shouldn't apply to standard installations, as Roche provides its own java and I had altered the shell wrappers to use another java.
