I've installed Arduino 1.8.13 from the arduino.cc tarball on two different computers, both of which are running up to date Devuan Linux 3 (Beowulf). On both of these systems the board manager window remains completely blank after download activity stops.
Yes, I've tried deleting ~/.arduino15/ and re-installing Ardunio.
Please see the attached log file.
Thanks!
