After an update, BurpSuite Community Edition stopped working. I can launch the application as a root only with low resolution GUI. Tried to update java, upgraded the linux. I don't know what to do else(

Hi Could you tell us the Burp Suite version and OS you are using? Do you normally use the installer version or the standalone JAR file to launch Burp?

Hello, deleteing the ".java" in my home directory solved the problem. I used the installer version to launch burp for Ubuntu 20.04

I'm glad you managed to resolve your issue! The installer version of Burp comes prepackaged with its own JDK. You can check what version your installation is using by going to "Help > Diagnostics" within Burp.
