Exact same issue on Popos 22.04 LTS.
Do you able to debug the issue?

[rajrupdasofficial]

@FakeShemp Any progress or can I run pycharm anyway?

[FakeShemp]

I don't know what causes it and I don't have this issue myself so I wouldn't know what to do.

[rajrupdasofficial]

@FakeShemp Okay I am trying to troubleshooting it via reinstall ,

I will keep you update further

[rajrupdasofficial]

@FakeShemp No uninstalling and reinstalling ,complete data wipe out . Nothing solves the issue . can you take a look into this ?
Actually want to know if Intel or AMD cpu matters ?

because I am using a AMD cpu.

[chamaoskurumi]

Exact same issue on Popos 22.04 LTS. Do you able to debug the issue?

I can confirm this problem. Also on PopOS 22.04 LTS

[Technohacker]

I can trigger this crash when opening a project if it has a README.md file. Judging by how the crash message involves Chromium's sandbox, and that JetBrains Runtime includes the Chromium Embedding Framework, I'm going to hazard a guess and say markdown rendering seems to make use of a Chromium WebView, which leads to a crash since it finds the sandbox invalid.

Maybe Zypak could help here?

[unclearParadigm]

I can confirm that the crashes are related to README files as outlined by @Technohacker. Further, all Jetbrain Products within a Flatpak are affected. Native installations of those IDEs (native as in: "not through Flatpak are not showing the same behavior). The crash is reproducible on Rider, PyCharm as well as IntelliJ (that's all IDEs I have tried). Tests are conducted with a clean installation of Fedora 39 Workstation. Minimal reproduction is to create any project with a README in the projects root directory. When loading the project, the IDE will try to render the Markdown file and crash the whole process. When the README is manually deleted, the project loads just fine without crash. This narrows it down to the Chromium WebView.

Further, it might be that only AMD CPUs are affected. I was not able to reproduce it on a laptop with a Intel I5 (however using Fedora 38 instead of 39 as above). I try to give it a shot with Fedora 39 Workstation on the Intel machine to see whether it actually has to do with CPU vendor, or whether it's just a difference between Fedora 38 and 39.

Hi, I can confirm this bug on Ubuntu 23.10 with Gnome 44, using an older ThinkPad equipped with an Intel i5-6200U CPU.

The project is locally stored on a dedicated ZFS dataset owned by my user. Initially, I suspected this might be the root cause, but by setting "filesystem=home" in Flatseal I could access the project.

When launching PyCharm as pycharm and navigating to the project directory, I experience crashes selectively. However, when attempting to open the Flatpak using pycharm . in my project's root directory, it consistently crashes. This occurs immediately after displaying the splash screen and briefly showing the IDE GUI. (Note that while the project uses rst files and docstrings with Sphinx for documentation, it does also include a README.md file.)

Edit:

• pycharm --version

  PyCharm 2023.3.2 (Community Edition)
  Build #PC-233.13135.95
  

• sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone

  kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 1

This error is caused by PyCharm's built-in Electron, which is used for rendering Markdown/HTML, akin to WebKitGTK in Eclipse. Electron, in general, does not work in Flatpak, as Flatpak prevents namespace cloning, which Electron uses for sandboxing. The only way to prevent PyCharm from crashing upon opening e.g. a Markdown file is by disabling sandboxing for Electron. This can be done manually over the Registry (before creating a new project or opening any folders, although, like previously said, PyCharm should only crash when the Chromium driver is invoked) or by injecting a idea.properties file with ide.browser.jcef.sandbox.enable = 0 into the Flatpak.

Everything worked fine for me after disabling sandboxing over the Registry.

I can confirm this worked for me on Pop!_OS 22.04

Well actually the error is quite ease to fix. Watch the last line of the error msg:

"[0713/123922.873959:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /app/pycharm/jbr/lib/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755."

you have to change the ownership and access rights of this file "/app/pycharm/jbr/lib/chrome-sandbox"
Enter:
cd /app/pycharm/jbr/lib/
sudo chown root chrome-sandbox
sudo chgrp root chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox

Hope I could help

This work for me on ubuntu 24.04 and standalone pycharm installation
