STMCubeIDE 1.15.1/1.16.1 stuck starting MAKE (discovering built-in language settings) Ubuntu 24.04 & 24.10

[debugging]

Starting make or clean. Happens with 1.15.1 and 1.16.1. Just recently updated to Ubuntu 24.10 (from 23.10) and seems to happens after that update. Just fresh installed IDE 1.16.1 because the "update" feature (link in update sites) seems (sometimes) broken or not working in 1.15.1

You may see the following :

it seems progressing then it my jump back in progress %

Cancelling the "discover language settings and it start the build, but it stuck at make and nothing happens.

it stops at the same file as posted here:

make clean and the result is the same

I tried these settings, the discovery blocking is gone,  but make stops as above picture

Starting tools from CubeIDE take a long time on modern Linux distributions

This is a very annoying fix and the topic/fix above is misleading. CubeIDE isn't slow, it can't work at all. !

This problem seems to be another symptom of the the same root cause.

Why did user run into this/ ST did not test latest, very popular distro's ? Perhaps  1.16.1 ST could add a shell script or warning readme in the release to attend user of this issue ? One of the OP says that is does not to occur in VM's.  Perhaps ST is just using VMs to test ? The fix in CDT has been in place in CDT code for 3 months now, but ST's tools ave not been updated.
