everytime I try to run displaycal it just crashes.

I get the splash screen with the sound then after a few seconds an error message and I have to kill the prosess after that.

the version doesn’t have any effect, I think mycomputer had 3.3 or 3.5 on it the first time, then I tried 3.6 from the repos and 3.7.1 from the website, all give exactley the same error.
