Created attachment 22496 [details] Error messagebox I installed Ubuntu MATE 17.04 in VirtualBox and installed FlatPak and MonoDevelop as described in the Download section. On the download section it said: The latest stable release is 6.1 Service Release 1 (6.1.2.44). After installation i started MonoDevelop and tried to run/debug a standard console application but it failed. I got an error message box with the following text (see the attached image): Debugger operation failed Cannot start process because a file name has not been provided. Another issue is also that MonoDevelop shows (as superuser) in its titlebar.
same exact problem on xubuntu 16.10
