#1 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Problems with undefined symbol libusb_set_option in Chimaera release » 2021-11-03 12:05:43

penguinwrangler

Found the problem.  At some point in the distant past, I had built libusb and installed it in /usr/local/lib.  With the upgrade to Chimaera, this locally built library was out of sync.  I deleted the libusb files /usr/local/lib and all is well again.

Hi All,

Thanks for releasing Chimaera.  Upgrade went incredibly smoothly except for my scanner.  When I try to run hp-scan, I get the error below:

roger@aardvark:~$ hp-scan 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hp-scan", line 40, in <module>
    import scanext
ImportError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsane.so.1: undefined symbol: libusb_set_option

I've tried uninstalling the hplip tools all the sane and libsane packages, etc.  No success.  When I reinstall, I get the above missing symbol.

There was discussion about this on the Ubuntu forums, but reinstalling libsane1-1.0.0 didn't fix it, neither did a forced reinstall.

Has anyone else seen this and is there a workaround?

Thanks,

#3 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Latest update for libpolkit-backend-1-0 tries to uninstall KDE » 2018-04-19 13:18:47

[FIXED]
So, some more digging and testing... and it seems the culprit is libpolkit-backend-1-0-elogind.  This package has been renamed to libpolkit-backend-elogind-1-0 and that seems to get everything upset.

The solution is to explicitly upgrade to libpolkit-backend-elogind-1-0 and that sorts everything out.

The only non-Devuan packages that I have installed are Google Chrome from Google and nodejs from the NodeJS repo.

So... something is twisted up somewhere but I've absolutely no idea where.  Anyone have a clue what I've managed to tie in a knot and how to untangle it?

Thanks in advance... ;-)

Hi fsmithred, thanks for your quick response.  The issue was the libpolkit. 

The laptop got a new HDD and a clean install of Devuan Jessie yesterday, then upgraded to Ascii but somehow it had pulled in the -systemd variants.  I followed the instructions in the lurker link you provided and replaced them with -elogind variants.  Now logout, reboot, shutdown from the KDE menu all work as expected.

I still have SDDM as the login manager...

Again, thanks for the quick response.  :-)

At the risk of resurrecting an old thread...  I'm running SDDM + KDE 5 under ASCII on a Dell 6220 laptop.  It all works nicely apart from shutdown and reboot actions from KDE's menu.  These just drop me back to SDDM.  The reboot and shutdown icons at the top right of SDDM work as expected.  From within KDE, if I issue "sudo poweroff" or "sudo reboot" from Konsole, both work as expected. 

I have had to add the option "reboot=pci" to the Linux command line in grub, otherwise reboots or shutdowns hang the machine after kernel exits, but I wouldn't expect that to affect this.  It seems more like KDE is always doing a "logout" rather than a "reboot" or "shutdown", since SDDM works correctly.

I've checked and I have both eudev and elogind installed... but I don't know how to check if they are working correctly. 

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm running Devuan Ascii with KDE plasma 5 and I'm loving it but there are a few niggles with some of the apps and rendering that make me want to pick up a more recent version... and KDE has just release 5.12 which is an LTE release.  Debian's "sid" is already pulling KDE 5.12.2.

I completely appreciate that Devuan tracks Debian so to a significant degree "we get what they get" but I believe that there are changes in some of the underlying packages to remove systemd so I don't think that I can try to push in the relevant packages from "sid" without it all breaking in horrible ways :-(

I'm wondering what it would take to package KDE 5.12.x for Devuan as a separate "bleeding edge" repository (which I'm happy to work on creating and host if necessary).    Since "sid" is already pulling KDE 5.12.2 so I'm hoping that I can start with that and apply the necessary changes to get it to work on Devuan... but I haven't tried yet.

Does anyone have any suggestions / recommendations for this?

Thanks in advance...
