Logcat show invisible messages in Eclipse Mars

Question

My PC running on Debian Jessie & Logcat's messages are all invisible on eclipse Mars. I tried a solution here, but no help. What to do now?

Screenshot

---------- UPDATE ----------

I tried the followings:

Change logcat/ddms's metadata settings in com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.prefs file.
Don't use GTK3 by export SWT_GTK3=0

But both failed to fix the situation.

I had a similar problem (Eclipse Mars on Arch Linux) and it turned out to be a GTK issue. The solution was to add the following two lines

--launcher.GTK_version
2

in eclipse.ini right before the

--launcher.appendVmargs

line, as explained in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=200053 Note that the location of eclipse.ini is distro specific (in my case it was under /usr/lib/eclipse) and multiple copies of the file in different directories can override the same setting, so make sure you are adding the lines in the right place.

This did not work for me @RyanB. Did you also edit anything besides this? – Henrique Ferrolho Nov 13 '15 at 16:37

@HenriqueFerrolho No, just added above 2 lines to eclipse.ini. Your problem may not be the same root as mine. Let try another approaches mentioned around here. – RyanB Nov 19 '15 at 07:25
@RyanB thanks for the comment, but I've already solved and left my config in a separate answer :) – Henrique Ferrolho Nov 19 '15 at 11:09
I was struggling for several hours with this issue. That worked for me, after all. Thank you! – Dmitry Frank Mar 27 '16 at 09:20

ddms.logcat.auotmonitor.level=error  
ddms.logcat.automonitor=false  
ddms.logcat.automonitor.userprompt=true  
eclipse.preferences.version=1
logcat.view.colsize.Application=169
logcat.view.colsize.Level=54
logcat.view.colsize.PID=54

There are some problems with GTK and Eclipse Mars. Try to set the SWT_GTK3 environment variable to 0 before launching eclipse:

export SWT_GTK3=0
eclipse

I got the same issue on eclipse MARS, ubuntu14.04 and i solved the problem by modifying the file.

/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.prefs

you should close the eclipse and paste following code.

ddms.logcat.auotmonitor.level=error
ddms.logcat.automonitor=false
ddms.logcat.automonitor.userprompt=true
eclipse.preferences.version=1
logcat.view.colsize.Application=200
logcat.view.colsize.Level=70
logcat.view.colsize.PID=50
logcat.view.colsize.TID=50
logcat.view.colsize.Tag=170
logcat.view.colsize.Text=300
logcat.view.colsize.Time=140

Then restart the eclipse. You could adjust by dragging the section of the Logcat as your prefer.

I did that, but it also doesn't work. I think this is a bug of eclipse mars since logcat & ddms are ok on older eclipse versions. Never mind, i'm now switching to android studio & everything is fine atm. — RyanB, Aug 26 '15 at 07:15
