Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon and XFCE installations both have a same
problem. Installed Lazarus from repository 1.0.10 with fpc 2.6.2, then
there were leakview problem that I solved - thanks to this forum. But!
I've got new problem - I run Lazarus, try to open some project file
and it shows me:
Access violation. 
Press Ok to ignore and risk of data corruption.
Press Cancel to kill the program.
If I press Ok, nothing happens, just nothing. If I press Cancel, then
Lazarus closes.
What should I do to solve this?

[Edit]

You do nothing else than open the Project ?

Just as suggestion. It may be caused by Cynnamon itself. As you can
see at your screenshot the directory with name starts by 'T' have no
icon. Try to move it to some other location. I had the same problem
and it helped.

No, I did nothing. It was the first thing I wanted to do.

This particular screenshot is from XFCE installation, but I'll try
your way.
    Yes! It worked! I just removed Templates directory from my /home
and now all things working. Thanks!

Nice to see that it was helpful.
I just hope that somebody of Linux gurus will explain why it
happening.

For your information, Lazarus 1.01 is an old version.   Nothing we can
do about that, we're not the package maintainers for Ubuntu.

If you don't want to build from scratch, then I'd use the rpm's from
here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/

Personally I downloaded the FPC 3.0 rpm, then built Lazarus from
SVN...

For ubuntu I'd use the deb versions and not rpm. The rpm's don't
easily convert with alien (well, it does with script conversion, but I
am not support for alien)

But anyway: use fpcup and / or fpclazup if you are not an advanced fpc
user.
