Hi Detlev,
Just tried it again and it is working fine. I have not changed anything
so no idea why. I am on Mint 21.3 and 22.2 is available so I will
upgrade anyway.
Thanks for your help
Mick

Hi,
I had seen a similar issue, which got resolved by installing Mint

Hi,
Been using eric for many years, but today when I started it it
asked me
if I wanted to restore a session which I did, but then when it
opened it
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 -
