KiCad applications do not draw correctly

[Seth Hillbrand]

KiCad (using both Eeschema and pcbnew) do not draw correctly in Bionic. This is due to linking with wxwidgets against gtk3 instead of gtk2 (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1339539).

However, linking to gtk2 also requires a gtk2-compatible version of wxpython (https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/python-wxgtk2.8-dbg) that appears to be missing.

Pcbnew is refusing to open in Ubuntu 18.04. I have projects that I have been working on that open the schematic but fail on PCBnew. I have tried different projects getting the same result. When trying the projects on a windows machine they open with no issue.

I also tried opening opening PCBnew individually (without the project explorer) it did not open.

I noticed that he “PCB Footprint Editor” won’t open either. Every other program is fine.

I would appreciate any help or directions on where to the crash report.
