Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04  
Slicer version: 4.13.0  
Expected behavior: Start 3D slicer nighty build  
Actual behavior: not launch

Detail:  
I have already run 3D slicer stable version(4.11) successfully in ubuntu device  
Otherwisely, after download the nighty build(4.13) and run it in same machine, it only shows a error window  
After closing the error window, double-click the slicer application again but nothing happen

Dose it mean I can only choose stable or nighty version in one device at same time?  
Or Could I install both versions in same ubuntu devices?

Thank you for everything

Each installed Slicer package are completely independent except they share a common Slicer.ini application settings. So, the most likely way of your not-yet-stable Slicer-4.13 could interfere with the latest stable is through this application settings file. Delete [Slicer.ini](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/settings.html?highlight=slicer.ini#settings-file-location) and see if it solves the issue.

Slicer preview releases are expected to be stabilized in the coming weeks.
