Markdown plugin not working: Getting "Try to use preview panel provider (JavaFX WebView), but it is unavailable." error dialog when trying to access README.md

Answered

Using intellij-idea-community-edition (2:v2020.1.1-1) under Arch Linux.  Already installed java8-openjfx, java11-openjfx, jdk8-openjdk and jdk11-openjdk. Not sure why the plugin is not working.

Make sure IntelliJ IDEA is running on the bundled JetBrains Runtime: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206544879 .

If the issue persists, please share the logs: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/207241085. You can upload the files at https://uploads.services.jetbrains.com/ and specify the file name here.

Yes, found a version that had the bundled jre and now the Markdown plugin works.

Thank you Serge.

How can the Markdown preview run on the system's jre? I don't want to re-install the IDEA.

By the way,  does the version that had the bundled jre refer to `archlinuxcn/intellij-idea-ultimate-edition-jre` under Arch Linux?

Looking forward to your help.

We recommend the official installation from https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html which includes the bundled runtime. We don't know how your Linux distribution specific package is made.

Serge Baranov I don't want to use the bundled jre becasue the dialog and editor fonts are not rendered fine under Ubuntu. That's why I use the oracle jre 11.0.12 with the latest Idea 2021.2.3. Is there any way to get the markdown preview working with it?
