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.

@geov when I download stm32cubeide from ST website, on my computer filename is: en.st-stm32cubeide_1.7.0_10852_20210715_0634_amd64.sh_v1.7.0.zip

Previous version was: en.st-stm32cubeide_1.6.1_9958_20210326_1446_amd64.sh.zip

I seems they changed naming of release files. It's possible they will go back to previous naming with next release.

_pkg_file_name=en.st-stm32cubeide_1.7.0_10852_20210715_0634_amd64.sh_v1.7.0.zip

seems wrong and should be

_pkg_file_name=en.st-stm32cubeide_1.7.0_10852_20210715_0634_amd64.sh.zip

I don't have any idea how this PKGBUILD could even create folder /opt/st/stm32cubeide_1.5.0/ and use it for installation or create st-stm32cubeide-1.5.0.desktop file.
I tried to rebuild version 1.5.0-3 and everything is OK.

Version 1.5.0 of stm32cubeide was installed by pamac or yaourt, I´m really sure. I've never installed any package without these installers.

Version 1.5.0 of stm32cubeide was probably installed directly without making package from aur, right? If so, you must uninstall it manually.

Few days ago I´ve downloaded and reinstalled stm32cubeide (ver. 1.5.1) and found out that the installation directory differs from previous installation (ver. 1.5.0). The reason for that was that the newer version did not run by clicking on the desktop icon, the older version was starting up instead. While version 1.5.0 still exists in /opt/st/stm32cubeide_1.5.0/ the newer reinstalled version is now in /opt/stm32cubeide/. I've also took a closer look into the installed startup-files st-stm32cubeide-1.5.0.desktop and stm32cubeide.desktop, both located in /usr/share/applications/. If I'm right, the newer version of this file contains incomplete entries. You can see both files side by side here: https://abload.de/img/screenshot_20210113_1l8koq.jpg

But my main question about this is, how can I remove the older version thus ver. 1.5.0?

Downloading and reinstalling is single one option. Update through IDE is not possible because of low user privileges. Allowing user updates through IDE will cause lost of files tracking and next big update will be with problems.

Or is there solution how to prevent lost of file tracking and allow user updates through IDE?

How should an update be done? By downloading via the IDE (Help -> Check for Updates) or by downloading and the reinstalling? Or is there another procedure?

Skipped. Thanks for sharing.
