So I try running this, on a vanilla ubuntu, and I get this:

fpcupdeluxe: Got an unexpected exception ... don't know what to do unfortunately.

the log is :

Going to install/update FPC and Lazarus with given options.
FPCUP(deluxe) is starting up.

There's no hint what the exception is... what should I look for?

This will be hard to debug in that case.
You might try this. Open an xterm (or any other terminal) and start fpcupdeluxe from this terminal. This might give you more info.

All I get is

Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

That comes up immediately before I do anything. Otherwise, no extra infomration

Hello,

For information, i'm on Ubuntu 20.04. I can launch FPCupDeluxe in a terminal: it doesn't generate any error (Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module") on my upgraded computer (18.04 LTS --> 20.04 LTS).

So, this is probably a problem with this OS command:

Code: Bash [Select][+]

sudo apt-get update

You should probably look in the Ubuntu's "Bionic" repository, which *.deb package contains "canberra-gtk-module" (probably, a GTK2 widget\set), and install it in your Ubuntu's "Focal" distribution.
