IDE fails to start

[her01n]

Hi I have installed the IDE from flathub using gnome software. Launching the application has no visible effect. No window is displayed. System is Arch Linux. Arduino IDE version 2.0.4. Here is the output of command "/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/cc.arduino.IDE2" from the terminal.

[31 preload-host-spawn-strategy] Warning: kill override ignores groups

The process hangs and have to be killed with ctrl+c. AppImage from the official arduino web works correctly, also version 1 from flathub works.

Hi, Could this be related to #38? Do you have localhost in your hosts file.

[SuperNinja-4965]

My only other thought is that it could be related to this error. This could be a misconfigured graphics environment or a missing graphics driver.

libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)

It won't be this; this error is common with Chromium-based applications on Linux.

You are probably right but given the GPU sandbox crashed, @her01n could you try running the IDE with the --disable-gpu-sandbox flag?

flatpak run cc.arduino.IDE2 --disable-gpu-sandbox

[her01n]

The issue is resolved by adding localhost to hosts file, like in #38. Option --disable-gpu-sandbox has no effect, when localhost is missing from hosts.
