Arduino IDE 1.8.19 for Loc-OS Linux

Don't know. What did you see when you checked the 'Store archiver output' option?

There wasn´t a Store Archiver Ouput option, I'm searching for this problem and it says that is related with the Xarchiver app

This is the error:



It's like it has problems with the executables at the extract moment

Do you have whatever package that contains /usr/bin/xz installed?

I´ve just fixed my problem, I'm showing the solution in the following message, thanks for your time and help, I very appreciate that

SOLUTION FOR MY PROBLEM: You can see in this chat all the ideas, problems and solutions that we tried for this specific problem that we wanted to fix. Basically I started having problems with the extracted files, nothing was happening when I was trying to open them, it results that I had downloaded the wrong zip version, it was an Arduino IDE Linux ARM 32 bits version, only for Raspberry Pi and not for netbooks. So I downloaded the correct version (Linux 32 bits version) but another inconvenient appeared, a "Store Archiver Output Error". This error is related to Xarchiver app from Linux, I dont know what causes this error but searching in different websites I found that in the Raspberry Pi website someone had a similar problem but with a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Vol 2 and another guy helped him, so I tried their solution and it works.

For copy and try:
(This wasnt mentioned in the original solution but you have to write first the direction/address/location in where is the file that you want to extract)
For me was (my file location): /home/mx/Downloads
then you put in the terminal: tar -xf nameofthefile.tar.gz

Proofs:

Thanks to all the people that helped me!

So now that that is sorted, be aware of the fact that you can not install every board package that you want. I think that that is because some board packages use tools that are only provided in 64-bit and will not install. The latest ESP32 (3.x and maybe late 2.x versions) is an example and there are others.

Another thing, based on experience with antiX 23.1 on a Core2 Duo with 1GB RAM, is that visiting the forum on Firefox and running the IDE at the same time consumes a lot of memory and anything can slow down significantly. Startup time of the IDE highly depends on the number of board packages and libraries that you have installed.

I often download code from the forum for analysis and got in the habit of copying it into a text editor (geany in my case), close the browser, start the IDE, place conclusions / modified code back into geany, close the IDE, and start the browser again,

And sometimes a reboot does wonders to clean out the RAM and/or swap.
