Java error. PHPStorm won't start

Support Third-party Applications
1

Yesterday the updates came and I updated the system.
But after restarting my computer and trying to start PHPStorm, I realized that it won’t start. Also, I was unable to install a newer Linux kernel, as I understand, a bug in one of these packages. Since now I did not update them, but updated all the others and PHPStorm works.

I wrote about this bug in jetbrains, but have not received a response yet. Most likely, nevertheless, this error is connected precisely with a bug in the new version of Java.

Start in console:

phpstorm  :heavy_check_mark:

This happened after the last system update of packages on Manjaro Linux (v22.0.0)

I had to roll back using TimeShift. God thank you for making it, Manjaro Linux, BTRFS and SSD.

So you run it with jre11, but it has been compiled with a newer version (jre19?). Maybe switch the java version?

What about using AUR (en) - phpstorm ? PHPstorm runs fine here.

There is a least three different methods to run phpstorm

  1. install from AUR :no_entry_sign:
  2. download tar.gz archive - unpack in home - run from unpacked/bin folder :white_check_mark:
  3. install using jetbrains toolboxl :white_check_mark:

In the last case you don’t need to worry about java - possibly no worries with number 2 either.

Thank You for solution.

As much as I don’t want to have to deal with all these little things. And so I spent a lot of time restoring the system after a failure. :wink:

I already installed it via AUR :wink:
