Try to launch it from the command line and then open help from the
dialog menu. That should give you some error message or something
similar you can go off of. It might log to kernel logs if some
internal library is messed up in which case you would need to use
journald (journactl -xb) on systemd or look in /var/log/* on sysv to
see the error.
