Thanks for the advice, but it didn't work. I got this message: ~& sudo apt install libconf2-4 [sudo] password for user: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package libconf2-4
This website doesn't look reputable, which is why I'm not just trying out what it recommends. https://zoomadmin.com/HowToInstall/UbuntuPackage/libgconf-2-4 But the website suggests that to install libconf2-4 I have to write: sudo apt-get update -y sudo apt-get install -y libgconf-2-4 Can anyone confirm that this would be the way to go?
