If you have problem than you can find gcc and add line -no-pie It is default executable because Ubuntu 18.04 has problem with Wayland that is why position independent executable. Just no pie! Than it works fine for me.

I tried compiled with-no-pie(only one dash in the front) and it solves it. Do you know whether there's any downside for compiling with this flag?

Check makefile! You can find "gcc" with end of compilation like gcc main.c -o executable-no-piethan you see an executable and you can click executable. or ./executable in terminal. // UPDATED i.imgur.com/SFoD5uB.png
