Arduino IDE:NullPointerException loading gnu.io.RXTXCommD

Post by peter_b »

[PROBLEM]

Installed Arduino IDE from default Ubuntu repositories (on Xubuntu 16.04.2). When I connect the Arduino (UNO R3) by USB, it doesn't show up as Device in the IDE, and the following error message is shown (in the IDE message area):
java.lang.NullPointerException thrown while loading gnu.io.RXTXCommDriver
