IOC tab not rendering in Ubuntu

[falconLucas]

I have a freshly installed stm32cubeide 1.13.2 on my ubuntu 22.04 machine and I've created a new workspace with a new project. In the beginning, everything works fine. But after generating code, closing the ioc file tab, closing the IDE and reopening the IDE with the same workspace and attempting to open the IOC file, it opens a blank tab failing to render the IOC file. If I close the tab and reopening it, the IDE hangs sometimes, or fails like before. It also seems to be using a whole lot of cpu resources. Reinstalling the IDE did not solve the problem.

Hello @falconLucas 

First let me thank you for reporting.

This issue is reported internally (Internal ticket number:165338) .

I will keep you posted with updates.

Thx

I found only one solution after all. The CubeMX seems to be installed sepparately under home/STM32Cube/Repository. After manually deleting any versions newer than v1110, it came back to life. But the IDE updates it sometimes and the problem reappears. Hope this information may come useful.

I've the same problem...

If can help, this is what I see running the IDE from cli:

Hello,

same issue here with STM32CubeIDE 1.14.0 and Ubuntu 23.10.

Each time I open the IDE, ioc tab is empty, the log is full of errors and I cannot even close the IDE by clicking the cross icon: it just does nothing and a popup says "not responding...". Almost unusable !!

I have found a tip to make things better : before launching the IDE, clean-up the following:

rm STM32CubeIDE/workspace_xxx/.metadata/.lock

rm -rf STM32CubeIDE/workspace_xxx/.metadata/.plugins

It does not solve the empty ioc tab issue but at least it avoids the IDE to crash or not respond...

[rayleishen]

I've got the same issue on STM32CubeIDE 1.15.1 and Ubuntu 24.04.4

[Pavel A.]

Will the cubeide behavior return to normal after reboot or session restart (aka logoff/logon)?

 

[rayleishen]

It was my first time running cubeide, it has not worked before. Also just reinstalled everything and still does not render.

[falconLucas]

I tried reinstalling the the IDE as well, as mentioned. But the problem clearly is not with the IDE, but with the related CubeMX software. So I'd call that the same symptoms as I had

[rayleishen]

My current work around is just to open the code and project in IDE but just the IOC file in CubeMX and it consistently works, albeit slowing down my workflow a bit.

[lonejack]

Hi, I use CUBEMX on ubuntu 22.04 pretty much every day. I understand the problems encountered and at the beginning I also felt a certain amount of frustration. After several attempts I understood that there is certainly some problem but it could be mitigated. My development method was therefore to version the IOC file and proceed step by step.
When a blocking problem occurred I restored the previous version and started again. I've been working this way for almost a year now and I have to say it's working well.
Also keep in mind that the IO file can be opened with a file editor and is easy to understand.
Hope this is helpful.

You might use x11 rather than wayland (change on login screen).

Other option is to run the CubeMX with x11 backend on wayland:

GDK_BACKEND=x11 /opt/st/stm32cubeide_1.18.1/stm32cubeide

[clockdisable]

using GDK_BACKEND=x11 seems to solve the IOC rendering issue. But it very frequently causes the rest of the Eclipse UI to freeze, rendering it useless. Only thing that works is the menu and titlebar.
