Tom,
The Jpilot service file was exactly as you suggested it should be.
I assume you mean, in the second bullet, to create a startup application,
and put some command there. Should that command be:
konsole --noclose -e
?
Anyway, I had Jpilot as an application I could select from the Apps menu,
with an icon I could click on. The problem is, as described before, it just
flashes and doesn't launch.

Yup; the intention is to create (to be safe, though you could modify the existing one), a file that contains

Exec=konsole --noclose -e /usr/bin/jpilot

Or similar. You can run which jpilot in a terminal window to find out what the full location is.

ever before.

Has anybody else had this peculiar issue? I have never had this on any
other of my desktops, including another running Ubuntu 24.04, as is this
one.

Can you open other executables from the CLI like xeyes or xterm?

Is DISPLAY set? If so, try unsetting it.

Run

$ ls -adl .x* .X*

Do you own those files?

With

jpilot -d

you may get more debug information on the command line.

Tom,
The problem is now moot. I just managed to recover the Ubuntu
installation I thought I clobbered early this week and Jpilot launches
properly there.

Thanks for the help anyway,

Kevin

Yup; the intention is to create (to be safe, though you could modify the
existing one), a file that contains

Exec=konsole --noclose -e /usr/bin/jpilot

Or similar. You can run which jpilot in a terminal window to find out
what the full location is.

Ulf,
I get messages like unable to open logfile, but the file has one line in
it: removing stale pidfile. When I change permissions to 777 I get 1 error:
(jpilot:5302): Gtk-WARNING **: 23:07:03.260: cannot open display:
