Please, address geckodriver.exe rather than geckodriver like this:

from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r"usr/bin/geckodriver.exe")
browser.get('http://www.ubuntu.com/')

You have most probably installed a version of geckodriver that is meant for a different OS/platform! get the correct version from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases and replace the one you have.
