I for some reason thought I was using 2.whatever frescobaldi on Ubuntu 17.10 but it is in fact 3.0. I remember it crashing iniitially but after throwing the error into google there was some reasonably simple fix, but going through the terminal history hasn't revealed what it was. Shane

Here’s all the details: https://github.com/wbsoft/python-poppler-qt5/issues/14#issuecomment-353697574 Best, Simon Hello all, by chance I just had the opportunity to sit in front of a computer with a freshly installed Ubuntu Mate 17.10. Although LilyPond isn't on the list of things to be installed on that computer I couldn't resist ... I went through the instructions on https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/wiki/Running-Frescobaldi-3-From-Source-Git-(Linux) - and to my great surprise I didn't have any issues. I installed the dependencies with sudo apt install git python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtsvg python3-poppler-qt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit (note that the qtwebkit package was missing from the instructions (and I have updated them accordingly)) then cloned the repositories of Frescobaldi and python-ly, added python-ly to PYTHONPATH and could immediately invoke Frescobaldi with `python3 path/to/frescobaldi` including the music view and the SVG viewer. Just to let everybody know. Best Urs
