Hyper: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[matthewkturner]

• [x] I am on the latest Hyper.app version
• [x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• OS version and name: Debian 9 (Stretch)
• Hyper.app version: 1.4.0
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: n/a
• Relevant information from devtools n/a
• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Won't launch

Issue

hyper fails to launch from *.deb dpkg install to launch and throws...

hyper: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

*.AppImage seems to work just fine, but figured I would share this in the event any one else had issues.

Same thing as well. It also basically undid half my system (almost every electron related apps, libc++, wingpanel indicators...).

Same here. Requires the REMOVAL of the following packages: google-chrome-stable indicator-application libappindicator1 libindicator7 slack-desktop.

Update: early morning brain fart, I was trying to install the i386 version instead of the amd64. Derp.

@quagliero - Ah. The link on the site is wrong then!

[quagliero]

@WoodyWoodsta Aha! You are correct. Downloading the 64-bit .deb from hyper.is gives you the i386 package. Maybe it wasn't a brain fart then (well, only partial) :smile:

I guess that should be opened as a separate issue?

[WoodyWoodsta]

I would say that the above issue is very much related! I had all the same symptoms :)

Download link has been fixed.
Sorry for this mistake and these side effects
