STM32CubeIDE is now run by executing stm32cubeide_wayland official script. If you have issues related to run environment, try to edit /usr/share/applications/stm32cubeide.desktop file and uncomment one of commented out Exec=... lines and comment out currently used one. After making changes to stm32cubeide.desktop run update-desktop-database as root to apply changes.

Discussion about this Eclipse issues is here: https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/issues/158

Just a note, currently it seems the newest version of cubeide can not be downloaded from ST I tried this pkgbuild (fails!), the link with curl and wget directly, and via browser with 3 drifferent devices. the Link seems broken...

For anyone using wayland compositor and facing STM32CubeMX freezing the entire compositor problems, try set the Exec=env WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 stm32cubeide %F in desktop file, mine is working!!

The download link issue seems to be gone, I built & installed the V1.16.1 package via pamac without issues, only had to accept the new GPG key when compiling ncurses5-compat-libs.

Funny observation: I'm running the STM32cubeIDE from terminal to observe any errors and the stm32cubeide launcher seems to actually look with Wayland better than stm32cubeide_wayland. However, the included STM32CubeMX does not render at all with stm32cubeide...

I'm using a HiDPI screen (a 14" 2560x1440) with GNOME (46 atm) so I'm usually using 125% scaling. At that, with stm32cubeide is all sharp and renders correctly even at fractional scales (except for some non-vector icons). It seems to even obey the light/dark mode switch and detects the scaling change, prompting to restart the IDE. On another hand, stm32cubeide_wayland is all blurry since it probably runs thru xwayland and that always renders at 100% and then scales up to 125%.

If the app freezes on boot, delete the .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi file inside your WORKSPACE. (credit to Wonky@stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/73880801/22381120 )

Also, I'm running it as a normal users and it complains that:

Sep 30, 2024 1:06:44 AM java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$2 run
WARNING: Could not create system preferences directory. System preferences are unusable.

and then the last four lines are repeated infinitely every 30 seconds or so.

ST broke the download link for the current version of "Lnx" v1.16.1, I can't even download this file from a web browser. However, version v1.16.0 can be downloaded.
As a temporary workaround, use a snapshot of the previous aur release: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/aur-c61f682b9bf995d06d8e8c13c9b38ae07aa87c4a.tar.gz

The sha256sum that I get for that file is

e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855  st-stm32cubeide_1.16.1_22882_20240916_0822_amd64.sh.zip

Edited to add:

I see now this is the sha256sum of an empty file, and that this problem has happened to previous versions as well recently.

For those like me which are interested what's new in the new release of STM32CubeIDE, here's the link to the Release Notes: https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeide.html# --> Release Notes, or search for RN0114. The filename change with each release. Perhaps it's an idea to add this to the sources list above (or as pinned comment). I find it sometimes difficult to find this information.

Since the source link is broken this package should be updated, 1.15.1 can't be installed even on the official site.
