Arduino ide UI not showing

So I installed arduino-ide via pacman, version 2.3.2-1 and the UI is not populated at all, don't mind the code, but like on Fedora it worked flawlessly on first try and it had a UI, should I use something like distrobox or troubleshoot this instance?

Re: Arduino ide UI not showing

I am also running into this issue. When checking the log there seems to be multiple relevant errors.

At first I was getting Vulkan dependency errors which should probably be fixed in the package:

Error occurred in handler for 'OpenPopup': Error: No handler registered for 'OpenPopup'
    at WebContents.<anonymous> (node:electron/js2c/browser_init:2:79778)
    at WebContents.emit (node:events:514:28)

After

sudo pacman -S vulkan-intel

I now see this:

Error occurred in handler for 'GetTitleStyleAtStartup': Error: No handler registered for 'GetTitleStyleAtStartup'
    at WebContents.<anonymous> (node:electron/js2c/browser_init:2:79778)
    at WebContents.emit (node:events:514:28)

...
Error occurred in handler for 'Arduino:IsFirstWindow': Error: No handler registered for 'Arduino:IsFirstWindow'
    at WebContents.<anonymous> (node:electron/js2c/browser_init:2:79778)
    at WebContents.emit (node:events:514:28)
...

I'm on GNOME / Wayland

I tried

arduino-ide --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

[z which just spits the same info messages but with a segfault

I think digging into workarounds for chromium/electron based apps would hopefully solve the issue here. Chromium wouldn't start for me at first, but the workaround I used that got it to work was --incognito

EDIT: Seemingly relevant forum thread, but couldn't solve the issue from it (plus I don't have an nvidia chip): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=295527

Yeah the package in the Arch Linux extra repository is broken - menu bar not rendered at all etc. The prebuilt binary downloaded directly from arduino.cc works better.

Re: Arduino ide UI not showing

Or the arduino-ide-bin AUR package also seems to work. I assume it uses the same binary.
