On ubuntu; debug says "Could not determine GDB version"

[DQuir.1]

Could not determine GDB version using command: /opt/st/stm32cubeide_1.2.0/plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.7-2018-q2-update.linux64_1.0.0.201904181610/tools/bin/arm-none-eabi-gdb --version

This solution also doesn't work for me.I'm having same behavior as Richard.

My question would be what linux distribution is proven to work for STM32 tools?

Hi,

i have latest MxLinux , MX 23.5 Libretto;

STM32CubeIDE 1.18.0  : installed 1.18. amd64_deb_bundle  , working all fine - except : no debug, because still needs this 20 y old libs, libncurses.so5  or so, but after install gdb-multiarch (and making symlink) now fine.

And (until now) never crash or suddenly cannot open ioc /Cube file and hang up then, what happened with (my last) version 1.13.

Some days ago needed CubeProgrammer, download en.stm32cubeprg-lin-v2-19-0, unzip, start install - ok. working.

Here seems from install to running it all ok, no problems at all.
