IDE 2.3 crashes with "GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye"
Describe the problem
The IDE does not start. When started from command line the error is: "GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye."
Latest version that starts properly is 2.2.1, with current 2.3.2 it crashes, no matter if i tried --no-sandbox or --in-process-gpu or --disable-gpu-sandbox. Tried under X11 and Wayland, with same result.

Trace/Breakpoint ausgelöst (Speicherabzug geschrieben)
To reproduce
Ubuntu 23.10, nvidia GPU. Download and install IDE into a user accessible directory and start it from there.
Expected behavior
IDE starts up.
Arduino IDE version
2.3.2
Operating system
Linux
Operating system version
Ubuntu 23.10
Additional context
NVIDIA Corporation TU117 [GeForce GTX 1650] (rev a1), run with nvidia-dkms-550. Driver version 550.54.14.
Issue checklist
- [X] I searched for previous reports in the issue tracker
- [X] I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest nightly build
- [X] My report contains all necessary details
Hi @jschwender. Please try starting Arduino IDE from the command line and add the --disable-gpu flag to the invocation:
./arduino-ide --disable-gpu
Add a comment here to let us know whether it was able to start up and work as expected when you did that.
Version 2.3.2, with --disable-gpu:

the flatpack edition also does not work, same result: arduino-ide_2.3.2_Linux_64bit.AppImage … [252216:0410/085427.819809:ERROR:gpu_process_host.cc(991)] GPU process exited unexpectedly: exit_code=256 [252216:0410/085427.944788:ERROR:gpu_process_host.cc(991)] GPU process exited unexpectedly: exit_code=256 [252216:0410/085427.944808:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(448)] GPU process isn't usable.

same result when running with --disable-gpu
Running the ide on another laptop with the same Kernel, same Ubuntu Version but with i915 instead of nvidia, the ide starts properly.
Can anyone confirm my observations? Is the observed behavior intentional or is it a bug?
I had the same result with arduino-ide_2.3.2_Linux_64bit.AppImage, Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS, GPU: VENDOR= 0x0000 [Google Inc.

Did you use X11 or Wayland?
I noticed that the most recent version 2.2.1, despite starting correctly throws the same error about GPU. But it seems too successfully disable the use of it:

I ran another test on a pc with AMD GPU where it starts properly.

Wayland

Wayland
I rolled back to arduino-ide_2.2.1_Linux_64bit.AppImage which works just fine.
This seems to be an issue only when trying to use Wayland. I rolled back to 2.2.1 and it worked for me too. Here is a one-liner for Flatpak:
sudo flatpak update --commit=4f8cc54c47c5c5f99fc59130e767d4200e74f468558cfaf1af37666d4c5e0e6e cc.arduino.IDE2
I checked on another machine with AMD GPU -- it works as expected, so the issue only happens on NVIDIA cards.
I also checked all versions between 2.2.1 and 2.3.2 and it seems that the first broken version is 2.3.0.
I have an AMD 5700G APU with integrated graphics and it crashes too on Fedora 40. So not only Nvidia. Passing --disable-gpu fixes it for me as a workaround
Update: After installing recent system updates I do not get the error anymore. Interesting.
