Intellij IDEA not starting up

I've looked at the following, nothing helps: How to deal with "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" error (64MB heap size)

Yesterday Intellij IDEA was working ok. Today when I start the program the following happens:

karl@karl-Dell-Precision-M3800:~/dev/java$ /opt/idea-IC-162.2032.8/bin/idea.sh

Apparently I'm out of memory. I know I'm not:

Every 5,0s: free -m                                                                                                                                                            Thu Sep 22 09:22:56 2016

              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available

I also tried the following /opt/idea-IC-162.2032.8/bin/idea.sh -Xms512m, got the error:

I run 64-bit so I created the file ~/.IdeaIC2016.2/idea64.vmoptions with the contents:

-Xms1024m
-Xmx1024m

Still doesn't work.

Wow, surprised that noone knows anything about this, isn't Java supposed to be huge? Oh well, hers the answer, pretty simple once you know that the IDE runs it's JDK off of an env variable. I just had to set it to a JDK that works instead of it's own inbuilt one.

export IDEA_JDK=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_101/
