I understand you are trying to run MATLAB on a linux machine but the live editor is unable to run.
This error can be an indication that there is an undefined symbol or missing library in your MATLAB installation. 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. This could be the missing library in your configuration.
As a workaround, run the following command in the terminal to install the missing library:
sudo apt-get install libgconf2-4
