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.
Community Edition: 211.7442.40; Linux: Debian 10.10; Desktop: XFCE.
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.
It's a known issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-248140. Please try solutions from comments.
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.
Running as non-root user solved the issue for me.

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.
