Not able to run xboard

I am running ubuntu 16.04
I installed xboard using the command
sudo apt-get install xboard
When I launch Xboard, I can see the icon (knight) in the Launcher but no chess board is displayed. If I click on the icon in the launcher, it causes xboard to quit.
I did a "purge" and then installed again but the results were the same.

What happens if you just runxboardin a terminal? If the program exits with an error, it should show that error in the terminal then and knowing that would help us fix the problem.

The xboard was installed without default values for some of the options.
The xboard file .xboardrc, in home directory, defines values for various options. Set the following options:
-whitePieceColor #FFFF20
-blackPieceColor #202020
-lightSquareColor #C8C3C5
-darkSquareColor #77A26D
-highlightSquareColor #FFFF00
-premoveHighlightColor #FF0000
This solved the problem.
