Won't start on a Raspberry Pi 5
I have Intellij Ultimate, GoLand, and PyCharm running just fine on my raspberry pi 5.
However, Toolbox won't start up.
The icon shows up in the menu bar, a window pops up, then closes, and the icon goes away.
No messages in the terminal, no log output that I can find.

Hi,
Please make sure that you have installed all necessary packages and downloaded the version according to the architecture (ARM64 or x86_64)
libfuse2 libxi6 libxrender1 libxtst6 mesa-utils libfontconfig libgtk-3-bin tar dbus-user-sessionIf this doesn't help, we know the following problem on the Raspberry Pi. Please also try the workaround described here
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TBX-11644/UI-crashes-immediately-on-Raspberry-Pi#focus=Comments-27-9516249.0-0
ok, so I did
sudo apt install libfuse2 libxi6 libxrender1 libxtst6 mesa-utils libfontconfig libgtk-3-bin tar dbus-user-session -y
rebooted.
toolbox still fails to start. I did notice that on reboot, its icon is in the menu bar, but when you click on it, the window opens, closes, and the icon vanishes.
I tried adding the mystery line:
export MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE="-GL_ARB_invalidate_subdata"
to my .profile file.
The result is that after reboot, I get a login window on the GUI, but can't seem to log in. Doesn't like my password.
No idea what that line is supposed to do, but it didn't help. I had to ssh in the machine to remove that line.
Another reboot, and still, toolbox does not start.
It's not like this is a weird machine. Pretty sure its just a raspberry pi 5, with the latest raspberry pi 5 os.
Open to other suggestions.
ok, I've tried this with both Raspberry pi os and the new Ubuntu on a pi 5. Same results
toolbox acts like its going to start, opens a window, closes it, silently.
Sorry for the delay in replying. Could you open a new issue in our bug tracker and attach the toolbox.log and toolbox-error-* if there are any files? (~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/logs/) Thanks!

Sorry, but I have to piggyback on this issue because the JetBrains Toolbox is very important and useful for the two apps that I leverage through this utility (PyCharm Community & Android Studio) on my desktop. Unfortunately, I have the exact same experience as the OP when performing the installations on clean RPi4 & RPi5 computers.
I have stepped through the instructions several time (10+) but still remain unable to use the Toolbox on any of my RPi arm64/aarch64 platforms. Latest installation is:
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) aarch64
Host: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.0
Kernel: 6.6.31+rpt-rpi-2712
with all prerequisites mentioned by Tech Support and all update/upgrade operations are current. Please HELP. Thanks.
Regards.
