Public bug reported:

Clean Ubuntu 18.04. ProjectM installed with Software Center. It won't
launch when you click on it.

I found two bugs and here's how you fix them:

1. Error: lib-canberra-gtk not installed. Run this command to install 
lib-canberra-gtk and fix the error:
sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk*

2. Error: In the projectM configuration file. It's looking for two paths which 
no longer exist:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf

To fix, edit ~/.projectM/config.inp and change those two paths to:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf

Now it launches and runs when you click on the projectM icon.
