| <matjan> hey | |
| <matjan> i have a problem with openoffice | |
| <matjan> with configuring an update to be exact | |
| <matjan> http://pastebin.ca/328817 | |
| <matjan> sudo dpkg --configure -a gives that error message | |
| <matjan> seeme to be a broken symbolic link... i have no clue on how to solve it | |
| <matjan> also, it seems to affect other apps... for instance, the gimp does not run anymore | |
| <matjan> gimp: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libgimpwidgets-2.0.so.0: invalid ELF header | |
| <matjan> does anyone have a clue? | |
| <tonyyarusso> matjan: Try running 'sudo apt-get -f install', pastebin that output before saying yes to its suggestions. | |
| <matjan> tonyyarusso, http://pastebin.ca/328826 | |
| <matjan> it basically says the same thing | |
| <tonyyarusso> matjan: reinstall OOo? | |
| <matjan> haven't tried that yet | |
| <matjan> i am not sure though if it is a problem with OOo itself... i suspect it is that python-uno thing that causes it | |
| <matjan> when other updates came, and i updated (like for xpdf this morning) i have seen many ELF header errors, but i cannot reproduce that now... | |
| <tonyyarusso> that could be too - I'm not sure | |
| <matjan> do you know if update-manager has a log file somewhere | |
| <tonyyarusso> not sure | |
| <matjan> ok | |
| <somerville32> davork | |
| <matjan> ? | |
| <somerville32> dvorak | |
| <tonyyarusso> having fun? | |
| <somerville32> no | |
| <tonyyarusso> it's tricky | |
| <paulg57> hey all | |
| <matjan> tonyyarusso, that jack_targets.pyo file symbolicaaly links to a file in a directory that does not even exist on my box: /usr/lib/python2.4/texmf/fonts/lm/0info092.txt.gz | |
| <paulg57> my problem is trying to change permission on some folders | |
| <paulg57> i try to extract files to them and I run into a "no permission" warning. | |
| <paulg57> I've tried some suggestions, but with limited success. | |
| <matjan> tonyyarusso, thought i'd ask also in #ubuntu | |
| <tonyyarusso> matjan: Good plan, b/c I'm out of ideas | |
| <matjan> tonyyarusso, and as usual no answer... | |
| <tonyyarusso> nuts | |
| <matjan> it is like that most of the time i find... | |
| <matjan> maybe the channel is too big | |
| <tonyyarusso> Try asking again in a bit. (every 15-20 min is good) People are in and out | |
| <matjan> maybe i am a bit impatient | |
| <somerville32> Whats the question? | |
| <matjan> somerville32, see above... | |
| <matjan> http://pastebin.ca/328817 | |
| <matjan> http://pastebin.ca/328826 | |
| <somerville32> Hmm.. | |
| <somerville32> If you want, I can try to shell in and fix the problem. | |
| <johanbr> The python-uno package has a buggy configuration script. | |
| <somerville32> Ah. | |
| <matjan> johanbr, ok... | |
| <matjan> it also seems to break other stuff.... the gimp does not run anymore either | |
| <matjan> ELF header errors | |
| <johanbr> What did you do to your system? | |
| <matjan> it looks like this problem started after an openoffice update a few weeks back | |
| <matjan> i did not do anything manually that would screw my system, afaik | |
| <matjan> i think it was this update: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-406-1 | |
| <matjan> the weird thing is though that it looks like that was an update for amd64... and i have a i386 amd box... so, i don't know... | |
| <johanbr> Try removing python-uno - that will also remove large parts of openoffice. Then rerun the "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and reinstall the removed openoffice packages. | |
| <matjan> johanbr, i looked into that... it also removes ubuntu-desktop... is that a problem? | |
| <somerville32> Nope | |
| <johanbr> Just add that to your list of packages to reinstall afterwards. | |
| <matjan> right | |
| <matjan> and also reinstall python-uno i guess? | |
| <johanbr> Well, I'd leave it out. If another package needs it, it'll be pulled in automatically. | |
| <matjan> ok | |
| <matjan> ubuntu-desktop needs it :) | |
| <matjan> ok, no errors now with dpkg --configure -a | |
| <matjan> crap, reinstall... same problem | |
| <johanbr> What does "ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-uno*" print? | |
| <matjan> no such file or directory | |
| <johanbr> Hm. Try "sudo touch /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/jack_targets.pyo" and then rerun the configure command. | |
| <matjan> what does the touch command do? | |
| <johanbr> Creates that file. | |
| <matjan> that file exists | |
| <matjan> but it is a broken link... | |
| <matjan> symbolic | |
| <johanbr> Oh, then just try removing the broken link first. | |
| <matjan> you sure? | |
| <johanbr> Yes. | |
| <matjan> the symbolic it contains now links to a directory that does not even exist on my machine, the file it wants to link to does exist though but in another place... | |
| <matjan> symbolic link | |
| <johanbr> Try repointing the link and then run the configure command again. | |
| <matjan> let me try | |
| <matjan> well... that worked! | |
| <matjan> all is configured now | |
| <johanbr> Great. | |
| <matjan> let me check if gimp works now also | |
| <matjan> hmm... gimp still does not work... invalid ELF header | |
| <matjan> i had thought it would be connected to this problem | |
| <johanbr> Sounds like the gimp binary has been corrupted somehow. Remove and reinstall the package. | |
| <matjan> ok | |
| <matjan> i still get the ELF header error | |
| <matjan> gimp: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libgimpwidgets-2.0.so.0: invalid ELF header | |
| <johanbr> That file is in the package libgimp2.0 . Try removing & reinstalling that package. | |
| <matjan> ok | |
| <matjan> the gimp starts up but cannot load any file | |
| <matjan> and while setting up libgimp2.0 a whole bunch of messages are shown | |
| <matjan> crap... i cannot pastebin the messages... | |
| <somerville32> Looks like you have some typing ahead of you ;] | |
| <matjan> it is a lot... | |
| <matjan> but they all look like ldconfig [filename] is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start | |
| <matjan> or, ldconfig [filename] is not a symbolic link | |
| <somerville32> That looks about right | |
| <matjan> somerville32, how do you mean? | |
| <somerville32> ld links libs or something | |
| <johanbr> Sounds like your libraries got corrupted, did you have a bad crash or something? | |
| <matjan> you're right i think... all these files are .so | |
| <matjan> johanbr, sort of... i had a freeze about 2 weeks ago and when i reset (physically) it had to check a whole lot of stuff | |
| <matjan> yet most of the files start with libwx_ | |
| <matjan> then there is librecode, libpics, libnetsnmp* | |
| <matjan> with checking i mean that at boot the machine had to do some file system checking... at least, i think that's what it was | |
| <matjan> yet all the stuff i use a lot seems to run just fine | |
| <matjan> (i don.t use the gimp that much) | |
| <johanbr> It might be confined to a few packages, but it's hard to tell. Unfortunately I don't think dpkg has checksum support, so it's not easy to know which packages are affected. You'll probably come across the errors every once in a while and then you'll just have to fix each package when you see it. | |
| <matjan> right... so how would i fix the above? | |
| <johanbr> Find out which package each broken library belongs to and reinstall the package. | |
| <matjan> ouch | |
| <matjan> i'll save that for another day... | |
| <matjan> in any case... the OOo problem is solved | |
| <matjan> thanks for the help | |
| <johanbr> You're welcome. | |
