Hi - Upgraded to v6.2 from 6.1.9 and I cannot start screen anymore, get a library error (below). I have copied a screenshot below the list of installed plugins. Any advice how to get this fixed?

 

root@Tower:~# pwd
/root
root@Tower:~# which screen
/usr/bin/screen
root@Tower:~# screen
screen: error while loading shared libraries: libelf.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
root@Tower:~#

Odd, the Nerd Tools plugin should have upgraded it for you, but perhaps there are issues.  Go to Settings -> Nerd Tools and uninstall/reinstall screen (and any other packages you need)

I just uninstalled the nerd tools pack and re-installed it by searching in the apps. Get the same error. Maybe there is a conflicting plugin I have in the system?

 

root@Tower:~# screen
screen: error while loading shared libraries: libelf.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I don't use screen, so there may be a different issue, but I had to toggle off all of the tools I use, then toggle them back on.  This cleared up the dependencies, and made sure the correct versions were installed, correct for 6.2.  In some cases, what is correct for 6.1 is not correct for 6.2, and won't work right.

Rob - How do you toggle off a plugin? Did you mean uninstall and reinstall? I just tried that with the nerd plugin tools but haven't rebooted the system. Can you please elaborate on how to toggle an installed plugin?

try this:

 

Go to Settings -> Nerd Tools and uninstall/reinstall screen (and any other packages you need)

Sorry, sometimes I speak too quickly and assume others will figure me out!  Thankfully ljm42 translated me for you.

That fixed it, thank you!
