Hi,
I'm using ide 1.8.19 and tonight it starts with loading packages then stops. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall.
Any thoughts?

I am not exactly sure of what you are asking. As I understand it your IDE starts loading a sketch then stops. Is it starts loading then stops during install. Try this from the terminal: find -name "Arduino*" this will search your entire drive for the file name "Arduino(the rest is ignored) and what is found will be displayed on the console. This is a case sensitive command. You can look at this and see if it is actually loaded. If the display is to much you can type: find -name "Arduino*" | more and it will display only page at a time. If you want it in a text file type ind -name "Arduino*" > file.txt For me it only took a few seconds to install. Also check for the icon on the desktop. If it is not there restart the system.
