RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 44182
Description oggdroid 2016-10-20 23:38:57 UTC 
Hello,

I'm using the latest MonoDevelop installed with flatpak according to instruction on MonoDevlop site on Lubuntu 16.04.

Way to reproduce:
- create a console F# project (in my case "md6_empty" in directory "/home/oleg/src";
- build it;
- click "Run > Start Without Debugging" -> nothing will happen
- click F5 ("Run > Start Debugging") -> an error `Cannot execute "/home/oleg/src/md6_empty/bin/Debug/md6_empty.exe"` shows up.

The binary does exists and can be executed in terminal as `mono md6_empty.exe`.

I have started monodevelop as `flatpak run com.xamarin.MonoDevelop --no-redirect` and i can see following error in the terminal:

ERROR [2016-10-21 01:15:48Z]: Cannot execute "/home/oleg/src/md6_empty/md6_empty/bin/Debug/md6_empty.exe"
System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot start process because a file name has not been provided.

Comment 1 Jason Imison 2016-10-21 09:09:20 UTC 
Do you have the same issue with a C# console app? I would imagine that this is an issue with the flatpak installation rather than something F# specific.
