Pycharm on ubuntu stuck on startup and never loads UI

Answered

Problem:

While running 'pycharm-professional' remotely via SSH and X-Server, the startup process never finishes and no X window appears locally. It hangs without throwing any errors. The x-server is verified to work by running other UI applications like xterm.

 

Server: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Version: 2020.2.3 (professional)

Installation: Installed pycharm-professional via snap (directions from website)

Remote SSH / XServer running via MobaXterm

Terminal Output:

myuser@myserver:~$ pycharm-professional

Hi, do you have idea.log in ~/.cache/JetBrains/PyCharm2020.2/log ? If yes, please send it to pycharm-support@jetbrains.com Is it possible for you to directly access the Ubuntu machine and check if PyCharm works without X forwarding?
