I newly installed Atom on Ubuntu 17.10 via Ubuntu Software. But I cannot install any package nor theme, neither from the user interface nor from the terminal.

Both from the +Install Packages pane and from the terminal (using $ apm), this is what I get:

/snap/atom/109/usr/bin/apm: line 63: 4322 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$binDir/$nodeBin" “cliPath" "@”

the 4322 number is the only thing changing when I retry.

Thanks to anyone who could help me.

    Not really looking in to it deeply at all - it sounds like a while loop that spawns too many async tasks (that'll get you a segfault in node) or a borked config file or filename where magic coercion of something goes wooly. – RobotHumans Dec 24 '17 at 17:13
  • @RobotHumans I do not understand totally what you said. Is it about the config files of Atom itself? Or is it about the Ubuntu system? – theAlexandrian Dec 25 '17 at 08:18
  • I suspect it's an atom problem. – RobotHumans Dec 25 '17 at 13:26

It looks like the problem comes from Ubuntu's snap.

I uninstalled Atom (which I installed using the Ubuntu software app), and installed it once more, but this time using the Debian Package from the official website of atom.

Now everything works fine.
