Thanks ... I have not seen the workaround and there is another guy who also reported the problem.

There is a libpng12 packages for Ubuntu but they fail to install.

root@sdrbox1:/usr/src# dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb

Hi SBoyc, this was what I encountered on new install Mint 19.x vs Ubuntu 18.x, old one still was cured very a long long time ago.

Libpng must be installed from source, latest revision.

Linux on front of Winz user has a big issue: it work for a long time driving user to forget how they installed.

Winz instead with frequent crashes and update refresh his user to serve it and get user exercised on how to cure instead of do their jobs.
