Hi Enrique,

This is a bug in MATLAB R2017b (and later) that affects Ubuntu 17.04 (and later). Since the release of Ubuntu 17.04, the libgconf-2.so.4 library does not get installed unless it was already on the system prior to an upgrade. However, this library is needed by the Live Editor in order to run.

As a workaround, please run the following command in the terminal to install the missing library:

sudo apt-get install libgconf2-4
