Installation problems with CubeIDE 1.18.1 on Fedora 42

[xuraax]

Hi

Last week I installed the latest version of stm32CubeIDE on my Fedora 42 system using the generic linux installer from the ST web site.

The installation went smoothly and I was able to run the program and even generate a simple project.

When I went back 2 days later to continue, each time i ran CubeIDE the system starts and displays the standard "workspace" window. Upon hitting enter a small empty windows comes up and the system hangs there. The app does not appear to close since if I try to start again I get the message that the app is already running.

Any ideas please?

Hello @xuraax 

Reinstalling STM32CubeIDE with the latest version 1.19.0 is recommended if you continue to experience issues such as the IDE hanging after workspace selection. A fresh installation can resolve corrupted files, missing dependencies, or configuration problems that may have occurred during the initial setup, ensuring a clean and stable development environment on your Fedora 42 system.

Hi @Ghofrane GSOURI ,

Thank you for your reply.  Following my initial mail I had discovered that 1.19.0 had come out.

I deleted everything related to 1.18.1. This was not so simple as the use of uninstall.sh file did not clear everything.

I then downloaded the RPM version of the software. Previously I had installed the generic linux version. There was also an update to Fedora which I installed.

I then ran the .sh file using sudo and indeed the installation seems to have been successful. Since initially the 1.18.1 had also ran properly for a few days I will wait a few more days before declaring that the issue is solved.

Thanks for your help.
