v5.9 is very old by now. I'm surprised that the Ubuntu package manager is still providing it. The chances of troubleshooting this package are probably small at this point.
I'd suggest installing the current version of Leo directly using pip. Make sure that you have python 3.6+ on your system. You may have to use apt-get to get pip installed - some distros don't include it with Python, some do, and I don't remember about Ubuntu. It may need to be called pip3 to make sure it's the one for Python 3.x. Then install Leo: pip3 install leo # pip3 instead of pip should make sure you are using the Python 3.x version instead of the Python 2.7 version. Or to see which versions are available: pip3 install leo== On some systems you might need to use sudo: sudo pip3 install leo Or, if the system isn't finding the correct version of pip: python3 -m pip install leo # python3 will launch the available version of Python 3.x As of today, the latest version of Leo available this way is 6.2.1.
