Upon selecting Pick Color from the Command Pallet or entering the shortcut, these windows pop-up as well:

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Hi @MurphyPone, thank you for the comment. Try this to install that:

sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4

And, execute the extension again after installation that.

Installed libgconf-2-4 and am now receiving the error: [processBridge]: Error: Child process exited with code: 1. I followed the advice provided in #74 (uninstalling electron, clearing the npm cashe, etc.), but still receive the same error. The full error log is provided below:

For test, try this command:

cd /home/peter.murphy/.vscode-server/extensions/anseki.vscode-color-0.4.5
node_modules/electron-prebuilt/dist/electron

This is test to start Electron, not Color Picker. A message "Welcome to Electron" should be shown, if there is no problem.
