[Abandoned] Information Center tab not displaying documentation

[SElli.11]

Hi,

I recently downloaded and installed en.st-stm32cubeide_1.17.0_23558_20241125_2245_amd64.sh.zip onto Debian Bookworm (fully updated). This proceeded without any errors or warnings.

On starting the IDE, a blank (i.e. black window) was presented, within the Information Center tab, that did not list any documentation. When I used a previous version of the IDE, this tab then showed links to various documents. Has this functionality been left out of the current version of the IDE ?

What do I now have to do in order to get the Information Center tab in the IDE to now show the links to the documentation ?

Hi AScha.3,

Thank you for such a swift reply. This afternoon, when I sent in my posting, I was using my local library's internet connection. (The library closed at 5:00 p.m. GMT). Now that I have returned home, I am using my home internet connection. In both cases, when I start the IDE (which I have just done now), the IDE opens with a black Information Center tab. Please see first attached screenshot. The second attached screenshot shows System Settings and that my internet connection is working.

Hi Alhaqglass,

Thank you for your response. I copied and pasted the link that you helpfully supplied into the "Work with" field. The system did not "like" it and responded as shown in the attached screenshot.

Where do I go from here ?

Hi,

I have the same problem with Version: 1.19.0. I tried to reinstall, but still the same problem.

Hi,

My solution was just to download and install the next version of the
IDE. This worked correctly immediately after the install and is
still(!) working correctly.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

I did install the latest version of the IDE at first place, but the problem occured. I deinstalled and install again 3 times before it properly works. I observed that at first start, I changed the default workspace for another one into OneDrive. After the last installation, at first start, I left the default workspace as suggested by ST, then it properly works. I can't say if this was the solution or by chance.
