Iridium Web Browser Install Via Synaptic Non-Functional

[tuxed]

Hi All,

Reporting that the Iridium web browser downloaded and installed via synaptic does not launch via the MX linux menus.

Am using the current release of MX Linux: MX-18.1_x64 installed via iso written to USB.

The install of Iridium was based on a search in synaptic and using the standard commands in the synaptic window.

Install seemed to proceed normally with synaptic reporting no errors.

Upon selection of the Iridium icon in the MX Linux menu under Internet there is no response from the system and there is no indication of Iridium running under HTOP.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.
