      Hey guys,

      (I’m using Linux 18.10, doing a manual install)

      So I have installed MagicMirror before and had no trouble with it that I couldn’t fix. But I just tried installing it on another computer, and I keep getting this error now:

      > magicmirror@2.6.0 start /home/magicmirror/new/MagicMirror
      > sh run-start.sh
      
      /home/magicmirror/new/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
      npm ERR! file sh
      npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
      npm ERR! errno ENOENT
      npm ERR! syscall spawn
      npm ERR! magicmirror@2.6.0 start: `sh run-start.sh`
      npm ERR! spawn ENOENT
      npm ERR! 
      npm ERR! Failed at the magicmirror@2.6.0 start script.
      npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.
      
      npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
      npm ERR!     /home/magicmirror/.npm/_logs/2019-01-02T15_23_49_977Z-debug.log
      
      

      I have tried re-installing several times and tried older suggestions here on the forum. Might it be because of the new release? Any ideas?

        a google search for ‘error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4’
        see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/1518

          @sdetweil I’ve tried that. It just says the following:

          Reading package lists... Done
          Building dependency tree       
          Reading state information... Done
          E: Unable to locate package libconf-2-4

            note the missing g

            libconf-2-4
            should be
            libgconf-2-4
