OpenLP does to open/run/execute on Linux Mint 20
OpenLP 2.4.6 is in the Linux Mint 20 repository and installs with no problems
However, it will not open and I get the following error information:
johnny@johnny-linux-mint:~$ openlp

I checked and python3 is installed.
I tried to add Software Source PPA add "ppa:open-core/release" and Linux Mint reported "This PPA does not support focal"
Still doesn't work.
I believe we are missing the openlp app in the focal-repo for Mint 20 Linux
Well I found the problem. I must run "sudo apt install python3-distutils"
Wow! Thanks Johnny!! Nice of you to provide the solution to your own problem. That helped me across Mint and other distros ....
Im having similar issue
