Crash at start Linux Mint 22

Software IDE 2.x

I upgraded to Linux Mint 22 which is a derivative of Ubuntu 24.04. Details below. I tried to rename .arduino15 and .arduinoIDE in order to reset the configuration, did not help.

$ arduino-ide
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 86: out of memory
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 91: out of memory
Fontconfig error: Cannot load config file from /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
Arduino IDE 2.3.2

My Linux Mint (most recent LTS) has no errors. No "renaming" necessary.

Disregard, an error unrelated to Arduino. "no such file or directory, uv_cwd" means current directory does not exist. These font errors served as a decoy.
