Did anyone get this running on Ubuntu/Mint? When I `sudo apt get install sonic-pi` and start sonic-pi (even with root privileges) the loading screen appears and nothing happens. There are no logged error-messages in the terminal either.

Robin Newman has just released today a Sonic Pi 3.2.2 deb file for Ubuntu 20.04, see: https://twitter.com/rbnman/status/1257673599755915265

He notes this deb will NOT be suitable for Ubuntu 18.04.

After mucking around a bit, I found this doc[1] which worked pretty well for me on Ubuntu 19.10. There is also some effort underway to build an appimage on their forums[2].

I second this. I tried a few months ago to get it working and was really frustrated with the state of the build scripts on Ubuntu and variants.
