Target selection: STM32 target or STM32Cube example selection is required

[Dabbo]

Running on Ubuntu

STM32CubeIDE

Version: 1.13.2

Build: 18220_20230914_1601 (UTC).

Fresh installation but just getting blank page saying "Target selection: STM32 target or STM32Cube example selection is required".

I've:

1. Checked for target selector device database updates

2. Checked for Embedded Software Packages Updates

3. Managed Embedded Software Packages and installed latest package for STMG0

Rebooted etc, but still getting this message and can't get past.

PS: STM32CubeIDE runs fine on Windows 11 connected to target board (Nucleo-64 G071RB)

I ran into a problem today where the program got stuck on the splash screen and would not start. This was solved my deleting the .metadata folder in my workspace. This is a hidden folder, as indicated by the dot, and you can see it in GUI file manager by Settings -> Show hidden files (Ctrl + H). In terminal you would type ls -a to list all folders including hidden ones, and rm -rf .metadata to delete it.

Hello,

yes this hidden directory contains very sensitive data that sometimes make the whole thing unstable.

I had to delete some parts of it regularly to overcome issues at start.

Please someone at ST can confirm this will be fixed ?

And I repeat, there is no mention in the documentation about the specific install script for Wayland. Someone at ST can confirm this will be documented ?

Any update about this topic ?

I use "stm32cubeide_wayland" instead of "stm32cubeide", and it works

(linux installation (1.16.0) on an Ubuntu 24.04LTS)
