#Jetbrains Rider freezing when opening .NET 9 solution

Found Rider in AUR and seemed to install fine. Booting the program initially goes smoothly as well, but when I try to open a solution, it throws up a little prompt about the AI Assistant and just freezes up. Can't close the window, can't click on anything. The OS is fine; the Rider window is just locked and the only way to get rid of it is to kill the process (which shows as "java" strangely. It was "Rider" the first time this happened).

I've tried removing/reinstalling and a couple of other basic IT guy moves, but not sure what's up. I've previously used Rider on the same machine but with Ubuntu.

I'm using this laptop (bit of a toaster) as a trial run while considering switching my desktop/productivity/gaming PC over to Linux. Omarchy's versatility really has me excited. I want to get more adjusted to simpler IDEs so I can feel like more of a real programmer (just an "Enterprise" poser for now), but I'm most proficient in .NET and like the idea of having a robust option for bigger projects.

Thoughts?

I've tried this also by using the jetbrains toolbox application to install Rider to the same results

Maybe this is more of an Arch Linux thing or even a JetBrains thing. I'm finding it difficult to locate any other similar anecdotes on the web, but plenty of examples of people complaining about JetBrains products in general 😅 .

I guess I might just use this as a prompt to pursue/practice a simplified development experience while hoping for a future update which enables Rider for those bigger use cases.

Warm welcome! I have the same problem. I tried install using download and toolbox but it freeze at the AI screen.

I had the same issue, something that worked for me was to switch to float mode as soon as possible (SUPER + T) that helped me to interact with the pop up window.

I noticed this thread the other day: #1431362687820103720 message. I haven't taken an opportunity to try it out yet as I've been troubleshooting some other things (not necessarily omarchy-related)

ahh this again. One sec

#

the same was happening to me on pycharm so I added the line recommended flag from their solution into the pycharm.vmoptions check if you can find a similar file. i'd assume so since its all jetbrains

#

also i followed that link you posted and they have the same workaround so you could use either. I think the one you posted is probably more clear about the vmoptions file

Marking this as resolved/dupe. Thanks, folks!
