Cannot run GUI at all in Ubuntu 18.04

[RickoNoNo3]

Details

Tested in two places: my WSL and an Ubuntu server
See more in Steps.

Steps to reproduce

Step 1

Whether you choose installing or downloading the .tar.xz file, make it done and try to run sqlitestudio with double-click in explorer.
You would see nothing.

Step 2

Try to call sqlitestudio by using terminal. Type ./sqlitestudio into terminal and exec it. The result is:

[1]     10000     segmentation fault (core dumped)     ./sqlitestudio

Step 3

Try CLI mode. Type ./sqlitestudiocli into terminal and exec it. The result is:

./sqlitestudiocli: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Step 4

Then we have to INSTALL libreadline6. (For me it isn't in the apt repository and I used dpkg instead.)

Step 5

Retry to run CLI again. It works well now. BUT

When exited the CLI process(.quit command), the system still show:

[1]     10000     segmentation fault (core dumped)     ./sqlitestudiocli

Step 6

Retry to run GUI again. The problem still exists.

I am now on Step 6, and don't know how to do next.

Operating system

OS	DE	Arch
Ubuntu 18.04 (WSL)	Xfce 4	amd64
Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS	Xfce 4	amd64

problems are same.

SQLiteStudio version

latest release (3.2.1)

[RickoNoNo3]

With the mentality of giving it a try, I downloaded 3.1.0.

3.1.0 DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM

[pawelsalawa]

Can you tell me that this command gives you when you execute it against 3.2.1 version?

ldd sqlitestudio

It would also be nice to see what is says against 3.1.0 - is there a difference?

For me it shows this:

[pawelsalawa]

Regarding CLI (./sqlitestudiocli: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) you need to have libreadline installed.

If you do, see what locate libreadline.so tells you.

3.2.1 VS 3.2.1(yours)

Essentially could not see anything different (except the directory location).

3.1.0 VS 3.2.1

may diff a lot

[pawelsalawa]

Hm. Looks okay.
How about deleting configuration file to start clear? (I don't know why it would matter, but it's worth to give it a chance).
Config file is kept in ~/.config/sqlitestudio/ and is named settings3. You can delete it or rename it temporarily and then try again.
