Hi, Barry

Thank you for this bug report.
It seems this tool had not supported with ubuntu. And we just support
for CentOS or AnolisOS. I am trying to fix this bug.

I see all these errors reported by you are extensions to the course
library? I am not familiar with Ubuntu and It looks that these errors
can be fixed if course relevant library installed.

Anyway, I will try to fix it next.

Thanks.
