FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(439)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye

Question

I am working on Ubuntu 18.04 and getting the following exception in latest version of intellij FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(439)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye. error. This is occuring on both Ultimate and Community versions when I am opening any remote repository although new helloworld project works fine for me. I can clone the repo successfully but intellij crashes with this exception

I have also tried running intellij with --disable-gpu but didn't work for me.

Workaround is to disable jcef in vmoptions.

Open file:

~/.config/JetBrains/IdeaIC2021.1/idea64.vmoptions

Add this line:

-Dide.browser.jcef.enabled=false

^{[FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(445)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.}

Answer 2

disable Markdown plugin. it's work for me.

Answer 3

It is Electron issue, when Electron-libs don't match your system

--in-process-gpu option helps as workaround.
Also --disable-gpu-sandbox or --no-sandbox options helps too

Answer 4

I got this message as well, I've solved it by adding to the command --in-process-gpu

Answer 5

It's a known issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-248140. Please try solutions from comments.

Answer 6

What worked for me was:

$ sudo ./bin/idea.sh dontReopenProjects

I tried the solutions from the comments on IDEA-248140 but it didn't seem to be related to JCEF or the markdown plugin. dontReopenProjects worked for me because it stopped IntelliJ from opening a project which was causing it to crash.

All I was trying to do was update IntelliJ to the latest version as a root user so I just needed to get to the new/open project dialog where I could check for updates.

Answer 7

Running as non-root user solved the issue for me.

/opt/idea-IC-203.5981.155/bin/idea.sh  

Answer 8

Your app was opening the README.MD as a default file and crashed on it. Disabling markdown plugin on your IDE or try deleting your markdown file.
