error after latest nvidia update...missing libpangox?

kjell · 2012-10-20 18:56:41

Latest nvidia update (304.60-1):

$ nvidia-settings

"nvidia-settings: error while loading shared libraries: libpangox-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Closest thing is libpango, libpangoxft....

Thanks..

Quick fix, try this:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0.3200.1 /usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.so.0

*facepalm*. Don't do that. EVER!

The third comment on that bug is the only correct solution, install the package the comment mentions. Well, there's another solution, compile nvidia-settings yourself from source, but the solution in that comment is much simpler.

I got this error too, and just installed

pangox-compat 0.0.2-1

According to the bug report it was fixed, pangox-compat is now an optdepend but I don't get how that makes any sense because nvidia-settings requires that lib to do anything at all. I know nvidia-settings isn't the only thing in nvidia-utils but still, it seems a little counter intuitive to me.

nvidia-settings also requires gtk to do anything at all, and yet gtk has always been under optdepends. Only this makes sense - nvidia-settings is optional.

I don't know why you can't just *recompile*, and have the dep on "pangox" automatically fix itself:

$ ldd /usr/bin/nvidia-settings | grep pango
	libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 (0xb6efb000)
	libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 (0xb6eef000)
	libpango-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0 (0xb6d7a000)

Edit: This is with nvidia 304.64 (also worked with 304.60) and pango 1.32.1

That's true, I hadn't thought about that.

I don't understand this. With this logic, when a package is optdepends of any other package, automatically all its dependencies should be optdepends?
For example, "python2" is in the optdepends list of "alsa-lib", does it mean that the 8 packages that "python2" depends should be put in "optdepends", this doesn't make sense.

Err, no, how did you get to that conclusion? pangox-compat is *not* a dependency of gtk. That's why both gtk and pangox-compat need to be listed here.

Or recompile nvidia-settings. Here's a snippet of how I do it (in a totally different distro), from nvidia's nvidia-settings sourcecode:

  if module_installed "gtk+-2" ; then
    # Build nvidia-settings from source
    cd nvidia-settings-$VERSION &&

    # xf86vmode.h has been removed in xf86vidmodeproto 2.3
    if [[ ! -e /usr/include/X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h ]] ; then
      sed -i -e "s:#include <X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h>:#include <X11/extensions/xf86vmproto.h>:" src/libXNVCtrlAttributes/NvCtrlAttributes{,VidMode,Glx}.c
    fi &&

    make clean &&
    make -C src/libXNVCtrl &&
    make || exit 1

module_installed is distro-specific - of course, it's checking whether gtk+-2 is available, FYI.

Edit: Corrected sourcecode file

Welcome to the forums beta. Linking to someone's Fedora install notes without any explanation is not particularly helpful. Furthermore, if you read the thread you'll see people already mention pangox-compat as a solution.

Please take the time to read our forum rules, for this case Forum Etquette: Old Threads / Necro-Bumping. Closing.
