Build: NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 (Build 201411181905)
VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM, 24.79-b02, OpenJDK Runtime Environment, 1.7.0_79-b14
OS: Linux

User Comments:
GUEST: The built in Debugger does not start. It keeps on loading but never gets finished loading debugger, 

Freshly installed Kubuntu 15.04 system. Might be because of some incompatability. Could not find any help on the internet.

Please, open an IDE Terminal (Window | IDE Tools | Terminal)
and send me the contents of $PATH environment variable ( echo $PATH )

It seems that for some reason none of the terminals listed below is in your PATH.

console
gnome-terminal
xterm

Also, switching a Console Type to Internal Terminal (Project Settings | Run | Console type) should solve your issue as a workaround.
