Latest Android Studio 4 is not running on Arch

I've just downloaded the latest Android Studio 4 from https://developer.android.com/studio and extracted it to a directory.

Then, when I try to run it, it just gives me the message "IDE has not been initialized yet" and exits with signal 14 (SIGALRM?).

$ ./Apps/android-studio/bin/studio.sh 
IDE has not been initialized yet

Is anyone else facing issues with the latest Android Studio 4 on Arch?

As far as I understood, Android Studio is shipping their own OpenJDK inside the package, so it shouldn't have any dependency on the system's JVM settings, right?

Anyway, here it goes:

$ archlinux-java status
Available Java environments:
  java-11-openjdk
  java-8-openjdk (default)
  jdk-11.0.7

Even though, I tried switching between these Java version installed here, including the Oracle's one.

Does anyone have any clues?

Thanks!

It's working now. Indeed the system-wide JVM seems not to have any influence on Android Studio.

What was wrong was that there was a android studio process hung, and the studio.sh scripts wasn't able to start a new instance, neither tell me it was open in background (but hung).

It's solved.

Thanks
