[SOLVED] xed stopped launching

Sometime this week xed stopped working: it does not launch, when I try to open a .txt file with it nothing happen, and trying to launch it from the terminal does not do the trick either.

Have you updated your system over the past week or so? There was an issue that was corrected. Mine wouldn’t launch either. Try updating your system.

Yep, that did it, many thanks.
BTW, Albert had also stopped and is back up and running after the update. Thanks.

Feel I am having some kind of déjà vu feeling is this the same topic starter that had a problem that was solved by an update before ? Hmmm I wonder.

@keescase, I posted a link to that thread in my response above.

No no I was talking about this thread (now you spoiled the joke for me :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:)
