cannot launch C::B 13.12 after installing (in Ubuntu 12.04 )

[danhld]

Hi all,
I am using C:B 10.05 in Ubuntu 12.04, and now I want to upgrade to C:B 13.12.
However I get some problems with the installation. After installing C:B 13.12, I tried to launch it, but it report an error as follows, and then closes the program:

I don't know what the error is and how to fix it.

Furthermore, when I remove it and reinstall the old version 10.05. It cannot be launched, too (without reporting anything)!!

Anyone can help? I am so embarrassed 
Thank a lots

First remove all codeblocks related packages and then install the new version. Probably you're mixing packages coming from two different versions.

There is an issue when upgrading CB that could be your issue. Reinstall 13.12 then open terminal and type codeblocks --safe-mode. Then enable compiler plugin and click OK at the prompt to update compiler settings. Exit and restart and you should be good.

Thank dmoore a lot.
I tried your way but cannot "enable compiler plugin" as you said (see the attached image). What can i do?

First remove all codeblocks related packages and then install the new version. Probably you're mixing packages coming from two different versions.

So could you please show me how to remove all codeblocks related packages? I use two ways:
First I try:
sudo apt-get -f install

End then terminal warns that there are still packages not removed, and it suggests me do the following:

sudo apt-get autoremove codeblocks

It seems OK. Then I install..

Do I miss something?

[oBFusCATed]

Don't know I don't use apt-get, but I suppose there are tons of tutorials explaining how to remove packages.

I returned to the old version.
If anyone has any experience of installing Code::Blocks 13.12, please share me.
Thank you all for your help.

Havent seen that error before. Permissions screwed up in ~/.codeblocks or /tmp or out of disk space?

I had the same problem updating from 10... to 13...
I uninstalled codeblocks using "sudo apt-get purge codeblocks" then "sudo apt-get autoremove", then reninstalled and the problem persisted .

There is an issue when upgrading CB that could be your issue. Reinstall 13.12 then open terminal and type codeblocks --safe-mode. Then enable compiler plugin and click OK at the prompt to update compiler settings. Exit and restart and you should be good.

After attempting this method (I did need to run as sudo to enable compiler plugin) codeblocks is up and running again.
THANKS FOR THE HELP.
