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

Hi, now doesn't work, what to do?

Reading packet lists ... Ready
Building a tree of addictions ... ready
Reading information about the state ... ready         
Libncurses5 package is not available, but mentioned in the list of dependencies of another
Package. This may mean that the package is absent, outdated or
Available from sources not mentioned in Sources.list

E: For the Libncurses5 package, a candidate for installation was not found

And when I write the code for the controller (F411re), an error is issued:

Could not determine GDB version using command: arm-none-eabi-gdb --version
arm-none-eabi-gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi,

maybe:

You have to install STM32CubeIDE Generic Linux Installer, and not the STM32CubeIDE Debian Linux Installer.

Or...

i installed gdb-multiarch and set symlinks, see:

https://community.st.com/t5/stm32cubeide-mcus/on-ubuntu-debug-says-quot-could-not-determine-gdb-version-quot/m-p/796903#

...just search here in forum, what solutions work on different Linux variants.
