STM32CubeMX 5.0 under Linux

[Pawe? Jab?o?ski]

Hello,

I installed new STM32CubeMX 5.0.0 on my computer under Ubuntu 18.04. After start, program doesn't response. When I run it via terminal, I have some warns and error. Below I attached logs from terminal. After the last line of this log, I don't have even program GUI. Does anyone had problem like that?

Thanks in advice

Paweł

Hi @Vitaliy Shurpa​,

Your trick produces "system tray not supported" error.

root@me# java -jar updater.jar

Same problem with Archlinux and 5.0.1 version

[Marie-Christine CAYALE]

​from my side I observed issue with VMWare and Ubuntu 16.04.5 and CubeMx5.0.1

it could be solved by doing :

sudo apt-get install default-jre

[mail239955_stm1_stmicro_com]

I hoped installing that package was going to do some magic with the install script that wasn't done by picking up a jre... but it didn't.

It seems not related to a particular jre. People have already tested ojdk 8-9-10-11 with alternate success.

I've tested all the proposed solution here on Debian sid and I'm still experiencing the problem.

[Marie-Christine CAYALE]

also following package may be needed

sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5

[Vitaliy Shurpa]

Ubuntu 18.10

It didn't help.

[Sergiy1]

I had the same problem on the Archlinux with jdk 11.

But it's not related to the java version or linux.

It's a bug in the tool - the "PluginManage" class.

As far as I can tell by decompiling the java code, the plugins are originally placed in a list in the order they appear in the log. And then there will be multiple loops where if given plugin's position in the loop doesn't match plugin's tabindex, it'll try to remove the plugin from the list and then insert it at the tabindex (while sort of trying to ignore plugins with "-1" tabindex).

In my particular case, grepping the log for "Loaded plugin" looked like this:

2019-01-18 08:02:57,343 [INFO] PluginManage:339 - Loaded plugin pinoutconfig (category:base,tabindex:0)
2019-01-18 08:02:57,349 [INFO] PluginManage:339 - Loaded plugin clock (category:base,tabindex:2)
2019-01-18 08:02:57,508 [INFO] PluginManage:339 - Loaded plugin analytics (category:tool,tabindex:-1)
2019-01-18 08:02:57,562 [INFO] PluginManage:339 - Loaded plugin filemanager (category:base,tabindex:10)
2019-01-18 08:02:57,564 [INFO] PluginManage:339 - Loaded plugin tools (category:base,tabindex:5)
2019-01-18 08:02:57,578 [INFO] PluginManage:339 - Loaded plugin thirdparty (category:base,tabindex:-1)
2019-01-18 08:02:57,584 [INFO] PluginManage:339 - Loaded plugin ipmanager (category:base,tabindex:5)
2019-01-18 08:02:57,590 [INFO] PluginManage:339 - Loaded plugin pinoutandconfiguration (category:base,tabindex:1)
2019-01-18 08:02:57,613 [INFO] PluginManage:339 - Loaded plugin power (category:power,tabindex:4)
2019-01-18 08:02:57,625 [INFO] PluginManage:339 - Loaded plugin updater (category:base,tabindex:12)
2019-01-18 08:02:57,659 [INFO] PluginManage:339 - Loaded plugin projectmanager (category:projectmanager,tabindex:3)

And the culprit were "tools, tabindex: 5" and "ipmanager, tabindex:5" - the loop would have one of them at index 4 and the other at index 5. So it'll try removing one from index 4 (and as a side effect moving the other from index 5 to index 4) and placing removed one to 5. Repeat forever. (It's actually more complicated: "-1" tab index plugins are part of the story as is the fact that plugins with tabindex 1 and 3 are loaded after tools and ipmanager, but I can't easily explain the broken logic in plain english).

I changed tabindex from 5 to 4 in "com/st/microxplorer/plugins/tools/Plugin.properties" file from "/opt/stm32cubemx/plugins/tools.jar" (which is just a zip archive) and it now starts fine.

To sum up, the workaround is something like: go through the log and find the first two plugins with the same non-negative tabindex, then change the tabindex (by modifying plugin's jar file) for one of them.

[S H]

This workaround works for me. I had to change the tabindex from 5 to 6 because 4 was already used by another part.

[Vitaliy Shurpa]

Many thanks!

It helped me!

[AJuto]

This solution, with tabindex=6, works also for me.

Many thanks.
