IDE under Ubuntu

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

Hi,
I'm trying to run the IDE 2.3.2 under Ubuntu 22.04 on an USB Live Session with persistent memory. So i tried the AppImage and also the zip-file. In both cases i get an error where permission is denied when trying to start it over the terminal (doubleclick for image is not working). So i installed libfuse2 and also changed permissions with 'chmod x+a'. Still cannot run it.
Any thoughts about this?
Thx
Steve

I took the app image and unzipped it and ran from that folder. I think I had to change the mode first. I had to load the IDE first then load the sketch. I could never get the sketch to load the IDE. This was on a fresh install so no old versions of the code was present. I only messed with it for a few hours and decided to go back to my 1.1.18 version, it works nicely most of the time. From my experience I can understand why people are having problems. I would not even consider tringy it on windoze.

Have you chmod and chown the appimage? (does one need to chmod and chown them?)

So, I'm also running it on a Windows machine. It was running out of the box...(for my purposes)

You do need to set the executable file permission:

You can do that via the file manager GUI:

Or using chmod:

Hi @steve_z. I found some information that indicates this error might be caused by the AppArmor security software blocking Arduino IDE from starting.

There is some valuable discussion on this subject here:

In that thread, multiple solutions are described:

  • Adding the --no-sandbox flag to the Arduino IDE command line invocation.
  • Creating an AppArmor policy for Arduino IDE.

I have verified that the AppArmor policy approach does fix the problem. Unfortunately since I am not knowledgeable in this area, and since the AppArmor documentation is absolutely horrendous, despite hours of trying my best, I was not able to effectively analyze the provided policy. So I can't officially endorse the installation of that policy, but I don't have any reason to believe it is flawed or dangerous, and I am using it on my own Ubuntu 24.04 machine.
