[Abandoned] Information Center tab not displaying documentation

[SElli.11]

Hi,

I recently downloaded and installed en.st-stm32cubeide_1.17.0_23558_20241125_2245_amd64.sh.zip onto Debian Bookworm (fully updated). This proceeded without any errors or warnings.

On starting the IDE, a blank (i.e. black window) was presented, within the Information Center tab, that did not list any documentation. When I used a previous version of the IDE, this tab then showed links to various documents. Has this functionality been left out of the current version of the IDE ?

What do I now have to do in order to get the Information Center tab in the IDE to now show the links to the documentation ?

Hi,

My solution was just to download and install the next version of the
IDE. This worked correctly immediately after the install and is
still(!) working correctly.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

I did install the latest version of the IDE at first place, but the problem occured. I deinstalled and install again 3 times before it properly works. I observed that at first start, I changed the default workspace for another one into OneDrive. After the last installation, at first start, I left the default workspace as suggested by ST, then it properly works. I can't say if this was the solution or by chance.

Hi sboucher78,

Could it be that some sort of in-IDE network configuration was needed
in order for CubeIDE to make use of OneDrive ? Did you try this when
trying to use OneDrive ?

I am no expert, just a thought.

So mark that as the Solution?

This is always what I do - so the old installation remains intact and can still be used for existing projects.

Hi SElli.11,

I don't know. I didn't try anything else since it is properly working.

Thank you for your help.
