Mongodb Compass cannot be opened in Ubuntu 18.10

Try these command in terminal :

1. $ wget https://downloads.mongodb.com/compass/mongodb-compass_1.12.1_amd64.deb;

2. $ sudo dpkg -i mongodb-compass_1.12.1_amd64.deb

3. $ mongodb-compass;

Worked for me.I'm also using Ubuntu 18.10

(Try to change the version of the mongodb compass - lower than 15- v)

Try with following commands. These steps worked for me.

wget https://downloads.mongodb.com/compass/mongodb-compass_1.15.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i mongodb-compass_1.15.1_amd64.deb
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt -y install libgconf2-4
mongodb-compass;

I had the same issue with ubuntu 18.10. This issue still exists with versions 15 and 16. Earlier versions works fine in ubuntu 18.10.

1) wget https://downloads.mongodb.com/compass/mongodb-compass_1.14.1_amd64.deb

2) sudo dpkg -i mongodb-compass_1.14.1_amd64.deb

3) mongodb-compass

We just released Compass 1.18-beta.1, Compass will work again on Ubuntu 18.10 and other recent Linux distributions. You can download it from here: https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/compass.

Try these command in terminal :

wget https://downloads.mongodb.com/compass/mongodb-compass_1.14.1_amd64.deb;
sudo dpkg -i mongodb-compass_1.14.1_amd64.deb;
mongodb-compass;

try to use version less then 15.It solved my issue.

It is not allowed to download a full version on this way, it can only be done for the community versions, f.e:

1) wget https://downloads.mongodb.com/compass/mongodb-compass-community_1.15.1_amd64.deb

This you can download, but has the same problem.

I downloaded the mongodb-compass-community_1.12.1_amd64.deb with wget. I installed it with dpkg -i, and it works.

Almost the same solution for Ubuntu 20.04

wget https://downloads.mongodb.com/compass/mongodb-compass_1.21.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i mongodb-compass_1.21.1_amd64.deb
sudo apt --fix-broken install
mongodb-compass

After installing the dpkg, need to run the following commands from the terminal

 1. sudo apt --fix-broken install
 2. sudo apt -y install libgconf2-4
 3. mongodb-compass;

I have run the following commands in ubuntu 20.04 and successfully:

1. sudo wget https://downloads.mongodb.com/compass/mongodb-compass_1.29.6_amd64.deb
2. sudo apt install --fix-broken install
3. sudo dpkg -i mongodb-compass_1.29.6_amd64.deb
4. mongodb-compass

I hope this will help someone else there.
