[SOLVED: User Error] Kubuntu 12, no 3rd party plugins work.

[sinisterbrain]

I just rebuilt my system to Kubuntu-12 64bit, and at the same time converted from Bibble 5 to Aftershot Pro. AfterShot operates fine, though none of the plugins I've downloaded from Corel work.

This is a sample error message I get from Aftershot:

40273.327: Loading plugins
40273.328: "Error loading plugin: /home/mhenry/.AfterShotPro/Plugins/zText.afplugin"
40273.328: "Plugin library contained no recognizable symbols."

Regardless of the plugin, the message is the same.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

You are missing some 32bit libs I would think.

These are the 32bit libs AS accesses while running on my 64bit Xubuntu 12.4:

Code: Select all

libc6:i386:
libexpat1:i386:
libfontconfig1:i386:
libfreetype6:i386:
libgcc1:i386:
libx11-6:i386:
libxau6:i386:
libxcb1:i386:
libxcursor1:i386:
libxdmcp6:i386:
libxext6:i386:
libxfixes3:i386:
libxi6:i386:
libxrandr2:i386:
libxrender1:i386:
zlib1g:i386:

I couldn't find packages for all the librararies you specified so I checked ldd output to see if I was missing any libraries. I can only find one "not found" library.

Code: Select all

libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 => not found

What's weird is:

Code: Select all

$ ls -l /usr/lib/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     28 Feb 19 10:57 /usr/lib/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 -> libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0.1.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 138384 Feb 19 10:57 /usr/lib/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0.1.0

It remains that way even after a manual ldconfig.

AS still operates properly, except when it comes to downloading 3rd party plugins. :-\

Code: Select all

$ ldd /opt/AfterShotPro/bin/AfterShotPro `find /opt/AfterShotPro/lib/ /home/mhenry/.AfterShotPro/ -type f -name '*.so*'`

Output Here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1012649/

I couldn't find packages for all the librararies

I did specify what dpkg told me (after searching referenced libs in a running AS with lsof), these are packages, not libs.

I checked ldd output

Well, in your uploaded example only zText is shown and that seems broken. I do get the libs needed shown when using ldd on zText on my box.

What's weird is:

Code: Select all

$ ls -l /usr/lib/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     28 Feb 19 10:57 /usr/lib/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 -> libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0.1.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 138384 Feb 19 10:57 /usr/lib/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0.1.0

Nothing weird about that, this is a 64bit lib.
You need 32bit libs.
And that lib is shipped with AS:
/opt/AfterShotPro/lib/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0

When using LDD to check, you have to make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set appropriately.
(See the shell script /usr/bin/AfterShotPro

I removed all the plugins as well as re-installed AfterShot to troubleshoot. Why bother adding complexity where it's not needed.

[spoilerhead]

this sounds like some serious corruption.

try to:
- perform a file on one of the .so files in the plugin folder
- check access rights

ldd is quite pointless, you need to prepend the library path provided by ASP

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/AfterShotPro/lib ldd libFatToniPlugin.so 

(or so)

I'm dealing with a very fresh install of Kubuntu 12. As in Friday evening, fresh. Aftershot appears to be running fine aside from 3rd party plugins (and my subjective opinion of UI changes). No other odd system behaviour aside from AS not wanting to load 3rd party plugins. I'll redownload all of them and see if they work.

What else can I be looking at?

[sinisterbrain]

Figured it out. I had /home mounted as noexec.

Code: Select all

sudo mount -o remount,exec /home 

Assumed that I didn't execute anything from my home folder, because I don't. I didn't think about applications loading dynamic libraries.
