Remove the space after Xmx and Xms

You are using 32 bit VM (Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM) which can be mapped to maximum 4G (Only 2 GB in reality) 2^32 address locations Maximum Java heap size of a 32-bit JVM on a 64-bit OS

Error message suggest you are using 5GB heap memory which is not supported on 32 bit architecture

Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx5096m The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.

Could not create the Java virtual machine.

You can modify the -Xmx parameter to use anythinng <=2g should work here

Somehow the installation of the BBMap / BBTools suite is botched. BBTools programs in general dynamically calculate the memory available at the computer they are running, and set (if I remember correctly) 85% of that memory to the Java virtual machine. But bbduk.sh is not finding calcmem.sh, hence it can't calculate the memory it should reserve and is using an empty string to build the actual java command, thus the odd-looking -Xmxm -Xmsm. · Did you add the base BBTools directory to the PATH? Supposing BBTools scripts are located at /home/s358309/bin/, do: · export PATH=/home/s358309/bin:$PATH

Hi, i got it solved, tbh i dont know how

Error: Intellij heap size snap

This answer is only for the linux/debian users.

So, I changed the max heap size from 750m to 2048m. When i changed this, I was unable to start the intellij.

Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx2048m
The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

I installed the intellij by the help of snap. So, the contents of all the snaps where installed at /snap/intellij.

These contents were read-only. So, you cannot change the vmoptions here.

The actual customized vmoptions is present in the user directory.

The name of the directory is .IntelliJIdea{Year.Version}/config. Some of the operating systems hide this directory. So, you need to enable show the hidden files

Now, you will find the idea64.vmoptions file. Edit this file to the decrease the memory.

depends on specifically why it's saying that. Either you have your minimum set to be larger than your maximum, or else you are trying to allocate more than your computer has, or else you are trying to use 32 bit java.
