I have a problem with my pi400 with latest version of Pi OS.
Arduino 1.8.13 (arm32) installs fine apart from the following:
sudo ./install.sh
Adding desktop shortcut, menu item and file associations for Arduino IDE...
touch: cannot touch '/root/.config/mimeapps.list': No such file or directory
/usr/bin/xdg-mime: 848: /usr/bin/xdg-mime: cannot create /root/.config/mimeapps.list.new: Directory nonexistent
done!
It starts fine.
It adds boards and libraries fine.
It uploads sketches fine.
It talks to a board over serial.
It closes fine.
Will it then start up again? Does it 'bleep' as like!! The splash screen appears and then disappears, I get a pointer with hourglass for a few seconds then nothing!. Rebooting doesn't help.
I've found the same problem with a Pi3A+. I've even tried running Arduino 1.8.6 (on the 3A+) and that wont even start once!
Now there is a twist to this problem, which leaves me totally confused!
With my Pi400 the Arduino problem happens when I am booting from a WD Green 250GB ssd using a UGREEN M.2 SATA SSD Enclosure. I've reinstalled PI OS twice on this drive with the same problem. With my Pi3A+ the problem happens when I am booting from a Silicon Power Elite (HC1 U1) 32Gd microSD card
HOWEVER...... I've used a fresh Silicon Power Elite (HC1 U1) 32Gd microSD card with my Pi400 .... no Arduino problem, booting from a Kingston 32Gb DataTraveller 100 G3 flash drive ... yep, no problem!!!
What the expletive is going on?
Is this some sort of hardware problem?
is it some sort of software problem?
Is it a combination of the two combined with inconsistencies in hardware manufacturing?
I get the same error when installing, the IDE loads up, but the top of the window is off the screen so I can't move the window or get to the buttons at the top.
I can't close the window so the only way out is to reboot.
And when I go into it again it does the same thing.
I'm running a Pi4 with the touchscreen display although I am using a wired keyboard and mouse. I want to use this to load updated software onto things I have built and given to other people.
