Hi All,
Had to go back to an early image backup of Mint so un-installed 1.8.4 with Synaptic. Rebooted just for fun then installed v2.0 in the correct sequence with gdebi.
On the first run I never got that dialog with the "Folders, All OK." I just got the splash screen with v2.0 on the bottom. A few seconds later it disappeared and that's it. Nothing.
I did some searching and cannot find anything for what to do next. Part of that searching issue is what terms to search for.
"not running"
"not starting"
Neither seem to be helpful. I desperately need Lazarus to make a change to my email program.
p.s. I also tried the "sudo apt install -f ....deb" process I found mentioned here but same again, Splash and dash.
