Cannot start Eclipse with either IcedTea or Oracle Java

[Dotan Cohen]

On Kubuntu 11.0, when I try to start Eclipse I get this crash:

✈saturn:~$ eclipse
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Trying with Oracle's Java 6.29 fares no better:

✈saturn:~$ eclipse

I've been googling and not finding anything, has anyone any idea how to proceed?

Thanks!
