Brackets IDE not working on ubuntu 21,10

gr flag

Brackets IDE no longer opens on Ubuntu 21.10 - Just shows a white screen on opening and it's stuck like that no matter what, forever.

I'm using this version of Brackets since I was on Ubuntu 20.04 after solving an installation issue using this solution.

Everything worked well and lit even on Ubuntu 21.04 and intially on 21.10 .

I'm not sure whether its a package update or kernel update that broke Adobe Brackets for me, either way it's like my life depends on it so someone please help out. ( I've mistakenly autoremoved older kernels so i can't really test by booting to an older kernel )

I've already tried all available versions of brackets including the one at snap store with no hope. (issue is reproducable with the snap version too)

I've also tried running brackets as root

Any help would be appreciated :)

Ubuntu 21.10 is in pre-release testing. Issues with 21.10 should be discussed in the pre-release testing channel and the bug tracker (not here) until after release in October 2021.

For reliable development you have to use LTS version of Ubuntu like 20.04 LTS. Reinstall it and enjoy.

Refer https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic where you'll notice only supported releases of Ubuntu and flavors are on-topic for this site. For *impish* indri [21.10] questions you'll need to use a development support site such as IRC (#ubuntu+1) or Ubuntu Forums, or wait until after release for this site (expected release date for Ubuntu 21.10 is 14 October 2021 (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/impish-indri-release-schedule/18540) when your question will be on-topic here.

The current state of *impish* is nearing beta, where the focus is on *bug hunting, bug reporting & bug fixing* so all issues with *impish* (what will be 21.10 on release) should be on bug trackers so any issues are fixed prior to release. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs Note: As the program is a 3rd party one; the issue should likely be raised with the provider of that code.

Another thing is Adobe has killed support for brackets. They will not update or patch it any longer, and it is likely you will have a lot of issues with it as newer and newer Ubuntu releases come by.

On Ubuntu 21.04 and upcoming 21.10 you can install Brackets using the following commands:

cd ~/Downloads
wget https://github.com/adobe/brackets/releases/download/release-1.14.1/Brackets.Release.1.14.1.64-bit.deb

dpkg-deb -R ./Brackets.Release.1.14.1.64-bit.deb Brackets
sed -i 's/libcurl3/libcurl3 | libcurl4/' Brackets/DEBIAN/control
dpkg-deb -b Brackets Brackets-fixed.deb
sudo apt install -f ./Brackets-fixed.deb

We should note that 21.10 has a bug in Glibc. To avoid use commands below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mwhudson/devirt
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

then reboot and continue to use Brackets as it was planned.

Really the problem is wider - currently many Electron-based applications are affected: RStudio, Slack and VScode.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
