2You must provide more details. Essential info: What version of Kubuntu are you using? How are you attempting to install? Where did you obtain the software? What steps exactly have you followed and where exactly are you having a problem? What is the exact problem? Include all steps and all error messages unredacted and verbatim. Edit your question and make sure to avoid any ambiguity. Anyone reading should be able to reproduce the problem exactly from your description – Nmath Jul 15 '21 at 21:02

Ubuntu has products that use the year format; eg. Ubuntu Core 20, which are snap only. Kubuntu does not have such products, their products use the deb packages as a base thus are all year.month in format. There is no Kubuntu 20 so you may have a fake or be running something else. – guiverc Jul 15 '21 at 21:57

Sorry that initial post was rather in haste. The version of kubuntu is kubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64. Lazarus DOES install from discover but when you try to run you get Can't find the lazarus executable /usr/lib/lazarus/2.0.6/lazarus.
Lazarus also installs fpc compiler but older version which generates spurious warning but you do get an executalbe file out of it.
Removed lazarus and installed fpc compiler from fpc-3.2.2.i386-linux.tar Chose /user/bin option at install. Can how run fp ide or use fpc compiler from konsole in home folder. So OK with command line pascal even if the visual lazarus environment not working.
