IGV Error: Failed to write main dump

I can't open IGV on ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS terminal. The following error appears:

Failed to write core dump. Core dumps have been disabled. To enable core dumping, try "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting Java again

Which version of IGV did you get? If you got the (all platforms version) then it needs Java 11 to run. /home/Giulia/hs_err_pid12090.log may also contain useful information.

IGV on ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS terminal

You will also need to have X11 configured to get GUI from IGV, if you are logging into a remote server.

I put the command ulimit -c unlimited, but couldn't open igv. How can I solve this problem?

What does /home/Giulia/hs_err_pid12090.log contain?

what is your version of IGV. the last version of IGV runs with an embedded java 11. here you're using java 1.8

version  IGV 2.4 and version java-jdk-8.0.92-1.
