Same happens as when I try to run the GUI version normally - no
visible output, the program never appears in the task list (or, more
likely, it appears but exits too quickly for me to see it).

That was why I switched to running in the terminal, to see whether I
could get some idea of what was happening. It did tell me what was
happening, I just don't understand the output. :(
