I am having trouble opening certain applications such as pensela. They appear on my app list as well as go on my dashboard when I add to favorites but whenever I try to open them (whether by clicking on them or using terminal, nothing happens). I have tried purging & reinstalling without success.

I have looked at other answers for similar problems without success such as: 'Ubuntu Software' app not loading on 22.04 Did the killall snap-store; sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-software; etc. The only thing that seems to work is sudo apt purge pensela.

I already restarted, tried looking at the System Monitor, & using terminal to open as suggested by: Certain programs won't open

I haven't tried everything here yet: Ubuntu Software not loading properly

I am a newbie so please help me. Thanks.

pensela --disable-gpu-sandbox

I encountered the same error while attempting to run pensela_1.2.5_amd64.deb. Using the above command resolved the issue for me. In your Ubuntu terminal, instead of running pensela, try pensela --disable-gpu-sandbox.
