JavaFX / graphics card error when running ./launchUI.sh on Linux

[neomatrix369]

When I run

mvn clean compile test exec:java

I get the below error:

.

[log messages]

.
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  136 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
  Serial number of failed request:  12
  Current serial number in output stream:  12

Is this a known issue ? I also get it after running the below as well:

./launchUI.sh

but the below works fine:

./launchHeadless.sh hotspot.log

Is it specific to my OS?

Comments from @chriswhocodes:
Hi Mani,
I can't recreate this on OSX Mavericks Java 8 or Debian Linux Java 7 or Java 8.
It looks like a problem with JavaFX caused by your graphics drivers?
What OS / Java / GFX drivers are you using?

Hmm, Do you get the same problem with Java 8 or running any other JFX apps (Ensemble etc?) If you email me the full stack trace / hs_pid / log then I'll dig around. Thanks.

This is a typical Ubuntu issue, I have found some resources to tackle it and hence not a JitWatch issue, happily closing it here :) , but still have to fix it locally :(
