How did you install Anki? Has it ever worked for you?

I used the software manager. I have installed and used it fine on my main computer (running Ubuntu Budgie 18.04, the same as my laptop). On my laptop however I get that message, so something must be different on my laptop somehow.

I am sorry, if something is working on one of your machines and not on another, you must find the difference. We cannot do it for you unless you provide enough details.
