    Launch it from the terminal and then post the output. If you have SE enabled you might need to adjust to allow for certain libraries or you are missing some dependencies.

    EDIT. I see Ubuntu uses Apparmor, try googling "ubuntu apparmor program not launching" and try the first solution which is sudo aa-complain /path/to/bin

    In OpenSuse i had to do

    sudo execstack -c /opt/bricsys/bricscad/v26/lib*.so

    and

    sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:alvistack/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:alvistack.repo

    sudo zypper refresh

    sudo zypper install libxml2-2

    To get Bricscad v26 to launch.

    Or you could disable SE if its enabled.

    BTW. running under Wayland ok.
