I am using "Discussion" because I cannot seem to create a "new topic" in "bug report".
Yesterday (Wed 20 Oct), QB64 was running just fine. Today, I double-clicked my QB64 icon, nothing happened. Tried several times. Same result. No problem. Execute directly from a terminal...

I am running with v 1.5 on a 64bit Linux Mint system. Any advice would be appreciated.

Update: Installation of QB64 2.01 produced the same error.

One thing I know can cause this is the antivirus. I whitelist all my new QB64 downloads. I run Windows, and can you believe it, a Windows update actually did that to my CCleaner app! It blocks it from running. On your Linux system, we can rule that out, but have you checked any anti-virus apps you may be using?
The one other weird one I had happen only once just required I reboot my system. I did a virus check first, and when it came up empty, I did a reboot, and it fixed what ever app it was back then that wouldn't start.

Thanks Pete,
As Linux does not appear to be effected by those nasties, I do not have the the need to both install and run, anti-virus.
Yet another update... Just for giggles, I re-installed v 1.3, low and behold... Same error... Yesterday, a new kernel update was installed... As the version of QB64 does not seem to be the problem, I am going to lean towards a system-related source... Maybe the new kernel? Just a thought... lol

Linux has f'updates, too? Oh the horror! 😝

Looks like something with GL. Grab the newest GL version for your system and give it a go.

Pete,
Yep. The horror! I was even considering restoring the previous kernel, but figured your reboot idea would be the easiest. Rebooted. Re-installed 2.0.1 and it started just fine.
Steve,
GL is already the 'newest'. But thanks for the tip. Appreciated.
Linux, based on my experience, usually only needs to reboot as a result of updating the kernel or the graphics drivers... For QB64? Who knew? lol
Anyway. QB64 is back! Appreciate the assist, guys... :D
