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

The only interesting difference I see relative to my system is regarding the font usage. On your system only LucidaSans.ttf is loaded (which comes with your java), no other font is even looked up. That's weird. On my system, that font is not installed, the 'stats' fails, but all system font directories are searched. To cross check I've installed this font in the requested location, this stops CubeMX from working.

I'd suspect the java font setup or some font related libraries are messed up or buggy.

BTW You did install CubeMX as root?

I installed LucidaSans.ttf from https://www.wfonts.com/font/lucida-sans. Our problem still continues.

I installed LucidaSans.ttf from

https://www.wfonts.com/font/lucida-sans. Our problem still continues.

This won't help, when I installed this font in the location it is looked for, my CubeMX stopped working. On the contrary, you might try to *remove* it (and maybe even the directory where it resides, i. e. ".../fonts" below jvm).

I follow [1] and [2] but our problem still continues.

Our critical error message is "[ERROR] IntegrityCheckThread:90 -

Cannot obtain updater plugin" and

Most certainly misleading. The 'stat' in your log shows that the plugin file is installed and accessible, size is correct, too. So it is most probably not corrupted, either. But to be sure, you could check the plugins with 'md5sum':

This won't help.

Thanks

Same here. I am using Ubuntu 18.10 with:

openjdk version "1.8.0_191"

This worked for me, thanks!

I have the same problem in Ubuntu 18.10 regardless of Java version.

When you try start up most plugins in console, you will see messages:

$ java -jar projectmanager.jar

no main manifest attribute, in projectmanager.jar

.......

$ java -jar filemanager.jar

no main manifest attribute, in filemanager.jar

Only plugin updater.jar behaves differently: you are able to run this plugin as a Java archive.

$ java -jar updater.jar
