STM32CubeIDE hangs when opening MX /.ioc view

[AScha.3]

starting the IDE is like rolling the dice every day : will it start and run perfect - or not ?

this happens about once in 100 starts, then it hangs in the splash window and you cannot do anything more.

seems to be a "well known" thing, there is some workaround, here:

>> To fix this, just remove this file inside your workspace:

>> .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi

>> Hope this solves the issue.

>> (this file is the responsible of saving your workbench layout)

ok, this resets the windows and menus to initial state, but its working again.

then again rolling the dice , when opening MX view  (.ioc file) it might open or just hang up with an empty background screen; only killing the IDE can stop this. 

error log:

there seems to be a basic problem long time, because the "MX plugin seems to be active" (seems (!!!) is which language? Java for kiddies ?) message coming all the time, even since i always close MX view before shutdown every time, to  avoid reduce the crash events.

this is on IDE 1.13.1 on Linux system, but was same before...and also on Win PC; just on my Laptop on Win10/64 is different: IDE crashes always (!) after new project and generating code (all ok so far), when starting IDE next time on this workspace. So not really better here. 🙂

Hello @AScha.3  and welcome to the community,

Could you please provide the used Ubuntu version.

This command " lsb_release -a " could help you display the Ubuntu version.

Thanks,

It looks like a common problem in Ubuntu :

https://community.st.com/t5/stm32cubeide-mcus/ioc-tab-not-rendering-in-ubuntu/m-p/619327

That was in CubeIDE 1.13.1, 1.13.2, now in 1.14.0...
