Can you give us a pointer to the source for Olympia?  I can't find  
anything with a quick search except what looks like an expensive  
Microsoft program.

Minor question - are you running Gnome or Plasma as your main desktop?   
It shouldn't really matter,

When KMM fails to start, are there any error messages, or just a silent  
failure?  Have you tried starting KMM from command line to see if  
anything useful is reported to console?  You might also try "strace  
kmymoney" and start by just looking at the last dozen lines or so.  The  
total output will be pretty large, so capturing to a file might be  
wise, so you can examine it at your leisure.  If you don't see anything  
obvious, try grepping for fail or err.

Additional thoughts:  examine the list of files installed by Olympia.   
(did you build from source or use the ubuntu package?)  Not likely, but  
see if it might have overwritten some other system (especially KDE)  
library.

I don't think 5.1.3 will be any different, but you could try the  
appimage version easily enough, just to check.
