I'd like to notice that libc6 is already installed and updated. Thank you for your time and im looking forward to using this emulator.

issue is with the verstion of libc, it is looking for version 2.28, as described in #1011

Getting a libc upgrade on ubuntu 18.04 is going to be a pain, but if you can, you should consider upgrading to ubuntu 20.04, the latest LTS (long term support) version.

See attached image for a helpful list of ubuntu versions and their codenames - you're lagging one LTS release behind. The libc version bundled with 20.04 is 2.31, which should let you run edex with no issues.

Running update-manager -c in a terminal should get you a graphical prompt to begin the upgrade process.
