I had netbeans in my computer: recently upgraded to a new version of OS (ubuntu lucid), netbeans was working fine. I made a mistake and deleted the /etc/profile folder (dunno if that has anything to do with this). But after that, I've tried 3 times to install netbeans again, with no luck. it just shows a blank screen. Last time I installed, when I first ran netbeans, got this error: "Warning - could not install some modules: Ergonomic IDE - The module named org.netbeans.modules.server/0-1 was needed and not found. Project UI API - None of the modules providing the capability org.netbeans.modules.project.uiapi.ActionsFactory could be installed.

Are you installing NetBeans from packages (using "apt-get install ..." or some GUI package manager) or using installer downloaded from *.netbeans.org? Does removal of ~/.netbeans/6.8 help?

Tried 3 different options: 1) apt-get 2) synaptic 3) downloaded the .sh from netbeans.org same results.
Does removing of ~/.netbeans/6.8 help to fix issue?
(In reply to comment #3) > Does removing of ~/.netbeans/6.8 help to fix issue? I didn't try. What I did is: Open the blank netbeans screen (luckily the menus worked, slowly). TOOLS -> PLUGINS -> Module Manager. After that, I was able to bring Netbeans fully functional, downloading updates, applying them, activating modules, rechecking, downloading again.... It was a slow process, but it's working now -- the IDE still feels kinda slow, but works. Thanks!
