Google-play-music-desktop-player-unofficial-: Ubuntu 18.04 Issues

[johndeaton]

Hello-

I've been using your app with Ubuntu 16.04 for some time now. It was working great. Nice job!

Unfortunately, now that I've upgraded to 18.04, it is very buggy (unable to click to start music, mouse clicks play random music, etc.). I'm sorry that this isn't very descriptive, but there isn't one thing I can pinpoint. Are you aware of issues with Ubuntu 18.04?

Thanks,
John

Been using it on 18.04 beta for a few now. The only thing that I find that doesn't work is the media keys. Haven't had any other issues.

For me it just doesn't work.
I've installed .deb package and when I run it - nothing happens.
I tried to find where the logs are, but with no luck.
Does anybody has same problem with ubuntu 18.04?

same

google-play-music-desktop-player: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

looks like this issue: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/1518

after running:

sudo apt install libgconf-2-4

it's working for me

libgconf-2-4 is the solution here. Closing out.

Thanks for this. May I suggest adding it to the FAQ?

It should be added to the debian package's dependencies as well; that's the whole point of dependencies, and users shouldn't have to know or care what underlying libraries need to be installed.

This should be open. This issues is happening in Ubuntu 19.10 too.
