This is a duplicate of issue #3332.

@ccordoba12, I know this issue. But I reproduced this issue on intel card with open source drivers while issues #3332 and #3226 about nvidia + pyqt5.
Looks like and modern linux can has troubles with any video card. And solution is pretty simple add +1 import to spyder/app/start.py - from OpenGL import GL

[ccordoba12]

@xxblx, I'm going to merge this one with #3332 because the solution for both issues is the same. Thanks for understanding!

Problem:
$ anaconda-navigator
/home/asus/.anaconda/navigator/scripts/spyder.sh: line 3: 23879 Segmentation fault (core dumped) spyder > /home/asus/.anaconda/navigator/scripts/spyder-out-1.txt 2> /home/asus/.anaconda/navigator/scripts/spyder-err-1.txt
I was facing above issue while starting spyder from anaconda-navigator

Solution:
$ inxi -G
$ sudo apt install python3-pip
$ pip3 install pyopengl
$ anaconda-navigator
