Linux & SDKManager & simulator

Hi,

I know this has been discussed before, but did someone found a fix for the simulator not being launched in Linux when running  from VSCode? I know just Ubuntu distributions are supported. In my case I replaced Windows 10 by Zorin OS (based on Ubuntu), I can launch the sdk manager manually from the bin file and download the devices but when I run the 'Monkey C: Open SDK Manager' from VSC nothing happens. Curiously launching ERA Viewer from VSC works perfectly, why not the SDK manager? It just needs to know the path and run the file.

I also found out that if first I open the simulator using the file in the sdk path and then launch the run of the watchface using VSC the watchface is run in the simulator. Has anyone found a fix to this problem?

Thank you

    I also can not use sdkmanager under Linux. It starts but after pressing Login, an empty window is shown. I receive the following output at the command line:

    KMS: DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Permission denied
    KMS: DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Permission denied
    Failed to create GBM buffer of size 590x366: Permission denied

    I got past this, by starting this way:

    env WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 sdkmanager

    Thanks for replying, in my case ERA viewer and Connect IQ folder (with SDKs inside) are placed in the user folder ~/.Garmin , I still don't undestand why ERA launches but the SDK manager will not.

    Works here on Fedora 41. Perhaps something is up with the install paths? I have SDKs and manager parent path (/Dev/Garmin) symlinked to ~/.Garmin (this was the path hardcoded for older SDK if I remember correctly).
