Hi,

Been using eric for many years, but today when I started it it asked me

just displayed a black screen.  I renamed eric_ide and reinstalled 
following the "Linux and macOS" (I am on Linux Mint) instructions on the 
website.

If I start it from the menu I see the initial eric screen but then that 
closes.  If I start it from a terminal I get this -
