grub customizer won't launch

[Midhun Pradeep]

Sorry about the unhelpful summary. I don't really know how to describe this.

So when I try to launch it from the applications menu, nothing happens. So I tried to launch it from the terminal, to which it outputs "grub-customizer: error while loading shared libraries: libatkmm-1.6.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I saw quite a few solutions on multiple websites but none of them seems to work. It'd be great if someone could help me out. Thanks!

Hi. The package libgtkmm-3.0-xxx is required to run grub customizer. However this is a dependecy of the grub customizer package file. So I'm wondering how you installed it without installing libgtkmm first.

I really have no idea. I added the repository, used apt-get update and installed grub-customizer. The installer ran without any issues (that I know of). Once I try to run it through terminal it just gives me this. I fully understand if it's a problem on my end but it would be helpful if you could point me in the right direction.

You have to run something like sudo apt install libgtkmm-3.0-xxx. The xxx must me replaced by a distro specific version string. For Ubuntu 18.04, it is: libgtkmm-3.0-1v5.
