Error running VoTT Release V1.5.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

[Smarker]

I am on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. I downloaded the V1.5.0 release for Linux, extracted the files, and tried to run the VoTT executable.

When I ran the executable I got:

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

To fix this problem I ran:

sudo apt-get install -y libgconf-2-4

As this is an electron app, I suggest looking at this issue: electron/electron#1518

After this, I was able to launch the VoTT executable, but I still got Gtk-Message: 15:33:42.832: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" (though this did not prevent me from using the VoTT app)

Strange does it work if you install and run from npm?

I also tried to also run with npm, but got the same error messages.

Closing, since using the running the latest release 1.6.1 vott_linux.snap solves this issue.

I'm using the preview 3 release of 2.0 and I still get the warning

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

even though this it is installed. I ran sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk* following this thread: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/gtk-message-failed-to-load-module-canberra-gtk-module-936168/

and the warning message is the same
