Hello,
I installed Ubuntu 19.04 today and encountered a problem: XnView won't start. It doesn't matter whether I try to launch it from the UI or the terminal. Any ideas?

Hi,

similar problem here in Mint LMDE6 and Cinnamon 6.4.8.

Sometimes MP does not start or very slow and hangs with a black screen.

Output from terminal:

Any hints?
