I had this issue. I ended up starting it from the command line and discovered it was after a library that wasn't installed. I installed that and it started working. I think it was something like libsdl.

Had the same problem in Ubuntu 18.04. The missing library is libgconf-2-4. I clicked on the red "APT INSTALL" button on the following page to install libgconf-2-4: https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/bionic/universe/base/libgconf-2-4 . I was able to start Encryptr after that.

Also had this issue.

› /opt/Encryptr/encryptr-bin 
/opt/Encryptr/encryptr-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sudo apt install libgconf-2-4

Same issue here. I found that this library was needed immediately after installing Encryptr, then it worked. Today, after months of good use, it just stopped working. It seems the library was uninstalled after my last Ubuntu upgrade because reinstalling libgconf-2-4 fixed the issue again.
I'm on Ubuntu 18.10

Also, good occasion to say it, I love Encryptr. You did a very good job.
