Starting tools from CubeIDE take a long time on modern Linux distributions

Hello community,

Few days ago, some post linked to performance issue with STM32CubeIDE on Ubunto 24.04 and Debian testing [trixie] machines.

This is a known issue in ECLIPSE and was not causing issues for STM32CubeIDE, however with the new Linux distributions the problem occurs.

Temporary solution:

As a temporary solution there are two propositions:

  • Make temporary changes for each STM32CubeIDE start.
    set the hard limit in current terminal : ulimit -n -H 4096
  • Make change for the entire system: edit /etc/security/limits.conf and add the line “username hard nofile 4096”

Long term solution:

The long-term solution will be the integration of the newest Eclipse version in STM32CubeIDE

This topic title is not correct. CubeIDE just fails to work and build at all w.o this change (on Ubuntu 24.10 at least). Please make this a very high priority problem to fix. It's been 4 months...

P.s edit /etc/security/limits.conf change wasn't needed.
