[10:31] <kaan> hello ii recently instaed ubunutu gnome but i have a rather strange bug where my mouse pointer leaves copies of itsef on the screen where i stopped moving it and they reman until i restart the computer does anyone know how to ffiicx this issue
[12:34] <dAnjou> Noskcaj, ricotz: hey, sorry to bother you directly. i'm having problems with gitg 3.17.1-1 in 16.04 and i found this log https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2015/03/30/%23ubuntu-gnome.html but it doesn't contain a solution. have you been able to resolve the issue? error is "gitg: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gitg/libgitg-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol:
[12:34] <dAnjou> ggit_cred_ssh_key_from_agent_new"
[12:46] <jbicha> dAnjou: are you trying to build gitg from source? because you shouldn't see that error if you aren't
[12:47] <dAnjou> nope, using the distro package
[12:48] <dAnjou> maybe someone can give me a hashsum of that library
[12:48] <dAnjou> it's possible that i screwed something up by trying to compile it before
[12:49] <jbicha> I don't feel you're providing us enough information…
[12:49] <jbicha> sudo apt install --reinstall gitg
[12:49] <dAnjou> i'd love to provide more
[12:49] <dAnjou> did that
[12:50] <dAnjou> i just purged gitg and checked whether /usr/lib/gitg/libgitg-1.0.so.0 exists. it doesn't
[12:50] <dAnjou> reinstalling now
[12:50] <dAnjou> same error
[12:51] <jbicha> the part that concerns me is where you said you tried to compile it before, and you're pointing to a discussion about an error seen during build
[12:52] <jbicha> are you able to reproduce this bug in a clean Ubuntu install? like in VirtualBox?
[12:52] <dAnjou> thing is, i'm not sure whether i tried to compile it on *this* machine
[12:52] <dAnjou> guess i have to try that
[12:52] <jbicha> if you can reproduce it from a clean install, please run
[12:52] <jbicha> ubuntu-bug gitg
[12:53] <jbicha> and give the steps for how to reproduce
[13:04] <ricotz> dAnjou, is there a /usr/local/lib/gitg/libgitg-1.0.so.0 ?
[13:06] <dAnjou> no
[13:07] <ricotz> dAnjou, output of "which gitg" and "ldd `which gitg`"
[13:08] <dAnjou> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/lK7zGVgV/
[13:09] <ricotz> there you go! -> libgit2-glib-1.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libgit2-glib-1.0.so.0
[13:10] <dAnjou> but that exists
[13:10] <ricotz> if you run "sudo make install" you should know what is going to happen
[13:10] <ricotz> yes, but it picks up a local custom file which is likely outdated
[13:10] <ricotz> "libgit2-glib-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgit2-glib-1.0.so.0" is correct
[13:10] <dAnjou> okay, so i guess i *did* try to compile it on this machine
[13:11] <dAnjou> is it enough to delete that other one?
[13:11] <ricotz> there are likely more of such files
[13:12] <ricotz> look into /usr/local this folder normally should not exists at all
[13:12] <ricotz> "sudo make uninstall" from the original build folder is what you would want
[13:13] <ricotz> sorry, but you are on your own with such things
[13:15] <dAnjou> yup, messed that up myself. but thank you very much for looking at it!
[13:16] <dAnjou> usually i try to use checkinstall but maybe i didn't this time
[13:19] <dAnjou> yay, it works now
[13:20] <dAnjou> thanks again, jbicha and ricotz
[13:33] <jbicha> ricotz: I just noticed that mdeslaur updated wk2 to 2.14.2 for xenial-security
[13:34] <ricotz> jbicha, yeah, epiphany 3.18.10 is a go ;)
[13:35] <jbicha> according to https://webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2016-0006.html 2.14.0 is the security update so that didn't help yakkety where 2.14.2 is stuck in phased-updates
