Android Studio 4.1.x can't open

Since updating android studio to version 4.1.x I can't open it, it always produce same error output.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.intellij.internal.statistic.service.fus.collectors.FUCounterUsageLogger

I try to remove and purge, and try to reinstall, but I couldn't get past that point. Version 4.0.2 is working normally though. Is there any solution to this?

Re: Android Studio 4.1.x can't open

I realize this answer is a bit late, but in case it can be of any help I'll just mention that Android Studio seems to be pretty much selv-contained, and can be just downloaded and run without any install.

What I do is download the install file from https://developer.android.com/studio/ (or https://developer.android.com/studio/preview as you see fit), and then extract it under /opt and add a desktop file in /usr/share/applications, for my menu.

Whenever a new version is ready I'm notified, and then I download again, rename the old folder /opt/android-studio-old just in case, and extract the downloaded file (it extracts to the subfolder android-studio).

It has always just worked for me - no dependencies or anything; just extract and run :-)
