can't run sqldeveloper on Ubuntu

Question

I tried to install sqldeveloper by following way:

Download SQL Developer from Oracle website (I chose Other Platforms download).

Extract file to /opt:

sudo unzip sqldeveloper-*-no-jre.zip -d /opt/
sudo chmod +x /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh
Linking over an in-path launcher for Oracle SQL Developer:

sudo ln -s /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh /usr/local/bin/sqldeveloper
Edit /usr/local/bin/sqldeveloper.sh replace it's content to:

#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin
./sqldeveloper "$@"
Run SQL Developer:

sqldeveloper

But it shows next output:

nazar@lelyak-desktop:/opt/sqldeveloper⟫ ./sqldeveloper.sh

How to solve this trouble?

Solution 1

Also affected but found solution here.

Solution is simple, before launch sh sqldeveloper.sh unset environment variable GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID or you can create another launcher.sh like this:
unset GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID sh sqldeveloper.sh

Solution 2

I am getting the same problem and have not yet resolved the issue. I found this post with suggestions.

1) Install OpenJDK

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

2) Open the configuration file

vim ~/.sqldeveloper/4.0.0/product.conf

3) Change

EDIT:

I had to remove OpenJDK and reinstall for it to work for me. I think there was something with the links.

SetJavaHome /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64

it doesn't work for me. I reinstalled open-jdk, too.

@nazar_art did you set the deault jvm?

[catch23]

Yes, of course. I did it. Reinstall open JDK and tried again. It keep throwing the same error.
