[SOLVED] XFCE Error

Bertman123 · 01-29-2017, 05:40 PM

I did a fresh install of slackware 14.2 with MLED. I am unable to login to the desktop as either root or as a user. I get the following error:

Code:

xfce4-session: error while loading shared libraries: libicule.so.51: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

I can login to fluxbox with no problem, but anything XFCE related appears to crash. I tried chowning my user:

Code:

chown -R myuser:users /home/myuser

but it did not work.

Any idea what the issue is?

The maintainer of MLED does post here, but, you may get more attention if you post in the MLED forum.

I asked there also, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask here as well.

This looks strange as this shared library is shipped in the icu4c package which is in 4.2 at version 56, not 51. Please provide the output of:

Code:

 ls /var/log/packages/xfce4-session*

It hurts. Please post each question in only one forum.

Hmmm... looks like it's a specific package. I did post in the mailing list, but figured I would try to track down the error myself if i could as I seem to be the only one with the problem.

Code:

[justin@wizzie1:~] $  ls /var/log/packages/xfce4-session*
/var/log/packages/xfce4-session-4.12.1-x86_64-3_microlinux
[justin@wizzie1:~] $

I am puzzled, as I don't see this package in a MLED repo (or I need better glasses). Where does it come from?

I see it now, but in a 14.1 repo. Probably a version mismatch in a config file (slackpkg.conf?) or something like that?

Le premier qui passe entre nous...

Note to moderators: untranslatable French joke, sorry.

Changing the version and re-updating fixed it, thanks guys.
