MATLAB: Matlab Live Editor Error

errorlive scriptMATLAB

When trying to open an existing Live Script (.mlx file) or trying to create a new one I get the error
  • The Live Editor is unable to run in the current system configuration.
This happens both with my Laptop running Arch Linux as well as a fresh install of Matlab on a reasonably fresh Install of Ubuntu on my Desktop PC. I am using Matlab version 2017a and 2017b so at least my desktop system should be supported to my knowledge. I have tried to follow the Guide on the Arch linux wiki on my Laptop, but it did not fix the problem (though I'm not fully sure I did everything correctly as I haven't worked with symlinks often).
Is there a way to fix this? I am of course happy to provide any information needed.

I'm not sure the versions of your Arch Linux and Ubuntu, but I guess libXss1 or libgconf-2-4 library is missing. In Ubuntu, please make sure these are existing in your machine,
sudo apt search libXss1
sudo apt search libgconf-2-4
If these are missing, install them by the following.
sudo apt-get libXss1
sudo apt-get libgconf-2-4
And relaunch MATLAB to confirm Live Editor is available. Please replace the corresponding package manager commands in Arch Linux.
