libplacebo 7.349.0 breaks Spectacle [SOLVED]

Ozzy_Helix_ · 2024-07-06 23:00:15

Spectacle crashes with

could not activate remote peer 'org.kde.spectacle': startup job failed

after running it in the terminal I get

spectacle: error while loading shared libraries: libplacebo.so.338: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

the solution to fix it for me was to downgrade libplacebo to 6.338.2.
I wanted to report this as a bug but I just couldn't because I don't have an account on the gitlab and I don't seem to be able to make an account but I reported it upstream and was told its a packaging problem
since I was unable to bug report it on the gitlab this is the best I could do

email has been sent. I'm just worried about others experiencing the same problem

Mod note: split off unrelated posts.

Ozzy_Helix_: it has been suggested that this was due to a partial upgrade. Can you confirm whether 'pacman -Syu' has resolved the issue for you, or do you need further assistance?

brauliobo · 2024-07-07 19:17:25

same here, full upgrade was done

Ozzy_Helix_ · 2024-07-07 20:50:09

running pacman -Syu didn't resolve it. it appears to me that spectacle wants a particular version of libplacebo and when it doesn't get it it throws an exception

gromit · 2024-07-07 20:56:28

Could you please share the version of spectacle and libplacebo? Also could you post your foreign packages (pacman -Qm)? I suspect this may be due to a ffmpeg version installed from the aur.

I tried installing a normal version of ffmpeg and it didn't help but I could try that again

Ozzy_Helix_ · 2024-07-07 21:06:57

ok you are correct I was wrong ffmpeg-amd-full was the problem I will report this to that AUR package maintainer and see if they can fix their pacakge

V1del · 2024-07-07 21:08:53

there's unlikely much he can or needs to do, you need to rebuild it against the new libplacebo and this is your responsibility when overriding system core packages.

gromit · 2024-07-07 21:09:33

No its not an issue of the AUR package per-se; you'll have to rebuild the package against the latest version of libplacebo.

Ozzy_Helix_ · 2024-07-07 21:11:28

I see I'll try rebuilding it then I just thought there might be a bug in how it worked not really sure but I will rebuild the package and see if it works

Ozzy_Helix_ · 2024-07-07 21:14:30

Arch Linux is still kind of new to me I've been using it since late 2020 but I am still kind of new to it sorry I apologize for any short coming. I am still very new to it

V1del · 2024-07-07 21:16:01

You probably shouldn't override core libs like ffmpeg with versions from the AUR if you don't have a real reason for it. That's one of the packages that need to get rebuilt against new library versions quite often.

Ozzy_Helix_ · 2024-07-07 21:18:02

my reason for doing so was to try and improve video encoding on my AMD card but I am unsure if continuing with this is a good idea

Ozzy_Helix_ · 2024-07-07 21:22:54

I'm sorry I should have just tried rebuilding my ffmpeg package I assumed it was a bug I'm sorry for wasting your time

Arch Linux
