Common Problems
If you receive the following error message when launching Cura from Terminal, or nothing happens when you launch Cura through the GUI, do this:
Error message: /usr/share/cura-lulzbot/cura-lulzbot: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /usr/share/cura-lulzbot/cura-lulzbot)
