Brackets IDE not working on ubuntu 21,10 [closed]

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 :)

Solution 1:

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.
