Cannot launch Nvidia nsight

linux eclipse cuda ubuntu-16.04 nsight

Initially the Java vm would not even start, but I fixed that by editing the nsight.ini file and removing

-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

and updating the

-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion

so I now get the splash screen and can select a workspace directory.

I do so, and get a progress bar but it promptly crashes and gives no indication other than to look in the log file, the start of which says:

I installed nsight at the same time as cuda using the NVIDA .deb package repository they provide on their website.

I added it using:

dpkg -i <cuda_file>.deb

and installed using:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install cuda

Normal eclipse installations work perfectly, so any advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated!

Expending on comments on Ben Turner answer, this what worked for me (Ubuntu 18.04, cuda 10.1). from this thread on Nvidia forum, just install:

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

and that's it.

running from terminal:

nsight -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java

and if you want to start Nsight from GUI, modify /usr/share/applications/nsight.desktop like so

Exec=/usr/local/cuda-10.1/bin/nsight -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
