Frescobaldi fails to open

[Tomas Cassidy]

Binary package hint: frescobaldi

I tried to open frescobaldi and got the following traceback when running the frescobaldi command from a command line. I also tried purging the package and and got the same error after reinstalling.

Traceback (most recent call last):

I got it to start by purging frescobaldi and all dependency packages and removing the ~/.kde directory and then reinstalling the frescobaldi package.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Raphael Mankin (raph-p)]

Maybe similar to #1996192

[Raphael Mankin (raph-p)]

By doing:

sudo apt purge frescobaldi
sudo apt autoremove
find ~ ~/.?? -name '*rescobald*' |xargs rm -rf
sudo apt install frescobaldi

I can get it to start, but I cannot import musicXML, nor can I engrave a .ly file with ctl-M

@raph-p Your problem sounds unrelated to the original problem in this bug report and more like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/frescobaldi/+bug/1993213
