So I try running this, on a vanilla ubuntu, and I get this:

fpcupdeluxe: Got an unexpected exception ... don't know what to do
unfortunately.

the log is :

FPCUP(deluxe) is starting up.

There's no hint what the exception is... what should I look for?

This will be hard to debug in that case.
You might try this. Open an xterm (or any other terminal) and start
fpcupdeluxe from this terminal. This might give you more info.

All I get is

Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

That comes up immediately before I do anything. Otherwise, no extra
infomration

Hello,

For information, i'm on Ubuntu 20.04. I can launch FPCupDeluxe in a
terminal: it doesn't generate any error (Failed to load module
"canberra-gtk-module") on my upgraded computer (18.04 LTS --> 20.04
LTS).

So, this is probably a problem with this OS command: Code: Bash
 [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i sudo apt-
get update
You should probably look in the Ubuntu's "Bionic" repository, which
*.deb package contains "canberra-gtk-module" (probably, a GTK2
widget\set), and install it in your Ubuntu's "Focal" distribution.
