[SMT32CubeIDE] v1.70 Cannot create a new project

[NandanV]

I have downloaded the latest version of the STM32CubeIDE.

Version: 1.7.0
Build: 10852_20210715_0634 (UTC)

Integrated STM32CubeMX version:
STM32CubeMX - STM32 Device Configuration Tool
Version: 6.3.0-RC5
Build: 20210714-1111 (UTC)

However, I am not able to create a new project.

I get the following error. I never had to install anything separately before.

Update:

I installed CubeMX (v6.3.0) to generate the initial IOC file and that went fine.

On opening the IOC file (after setting up the project with said IOC file), the kernel seems to have crashed (notification on startup) and my system just shut down.

I am using fedora 34.

Hello there!

Does MCUFinder start for you at all when you try to create a new project? The window during the project creation process where you select a target?

From the looks of it, it appears that MCUFinder is never launched.

I don't think I have a fedora 34 to test on. I will see if I can update one of the computers in the office to try this on.

[NandanV]

No, the MCU finder is not launched at all.

Please do, that would be really helpful.

Same issue here with Fedora 33. Stuck on this screen and can't make a project

@Community member​  & @shane mattner​ , do you guys use Wayland?

There is a limitation mentioned on the wiki that says:

"77518 - STM32CubeIDE has limited support on Wayland."

Last time I tested this known issue (a while ago now) it behaved a bit differently. However, I read through the internal ticket and it does seem to affect MCUFinder.

$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
wayland

Confirmed. Is there a work-around to use CubeIDE on Fedora then?

[NandanV]

Thank you @Markus GIRDLAND​ that solved it!

@shane mattner​ follow these steps to set XORG as your windowing system.

I doubt it because the issue is upstream. It stems from this ticket.

[NandanV]

The gtk_socket_new function does not seem to exist in GTK4, what could you make of that?

Also Bug 721224 referenced in it says:

"Firefox uses X11 (via Xwayland) even under Wayland, meaning NPAPI can still work. AFAIK NPAPI can't ever work without X11 since it uses native X11 types as the API."

So is that a possible work-around?
