Ubuntu Multimedia :: FFmpeg Symbol Lookup Error After Possible Update
Jan 5, 2010
I noticed that a lot of software updates were ready today so I installed all of them without thinking to make a note of what they were, so I don't know if ffmpeg or one of its dependencies was amongst them. The very next time I ran ffmpeg, it gave me an error I haven't seen before. After downloading a file from BBC's iPlayer site using get-iplayer, I ran a script to convert it to a format suitable for my Samsung YP-Q2 personal media player. I copied the command out of that script and pasted it onto the command line so that I could capture the console output of that encoding session, shown below:
This error, "undefined symbol" is what makes me think that either ffmpeg or one of its dependencies has been updated or the error would have occurred before now. I've been using the script with the command in the above form for some weeks now with no problems, almost always converting an MP4 (but sometimes a .mov) into an AVI. Thinking that it might be the version of ffmpeg in the standard repos, I followed the advice of this thread and removed the standard ffmpeg and installed the one from Medibuntu. (Removing the standard one took WinFF and DVDRip with it, but I reinstalled those afterwards, and I'm sure they don't come into the equation otherwise.) I re-ran the command and the error was exactly as before. Is ffmpeg recently borked or am I missing something obvious? Or something obscure, for that matter?
After I upgraded 11.04 on my netbook (Latitude 2110), I get a symbol lookup error when trying to run Spotify (Native Linux Client) and other QT based applications:
spotify: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol:_ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv
I found the following thread on the Spotify support website, with the exact same error. I cannot quite understand how to diagnose and fix the problem from the information provided. Anyone got a good tips or hint?
Previously after doing aptitude upgrade, my pidgin seems broken with no gui shown. So I decided to download the latest source from pidgin website and build it from source, but I think I made situation worse because it then complained that ssl lib was needed. Then I removed the libpurple (e.g. aptitude purge libpurple0 libpurple-bin libpurple-dev) and reinstalled pidgin (aptitude install pidgin). Now it shows the error
pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol: purple_media_element_info_get_type
I searched on the internet and can not find a solution. The clues on the internet says that's because the piding I use is the older version of libpurple. But I think I've removed all with purge and reinstalled it. Maybe some legacy binary is referenced. What or where it might be? Or where there may contain related information.
ive made a slight mistake on my Ubuntu 9.10 64bit. I was trying to get Voodoo Motion Tracking software to work, and it was having trouble locating some Qt Libs, so I decided it was a good idea to move its included libs into /user/lib32 directory. Voodoo now works, but Skype instead comes up with:
Code:
skype: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv Skype was installed using their own provided 64bit .deb - it was previously working fine.
The most recent update impacted my thunderbird-3.0. When launched I get these error messages
/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.3pre/thunderbird-bin: Symbol `SSL_ImplementedCiphers' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.3pre/thunderbird-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libnssutil3.so.1d: undefined symbol: PL_ClearArenaPool
I can only assume the libnssutil3 library was upgraded and this broke the library call in the thunderbird-3.0.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and was looking for software to mix mp3's. I want to try mixxx (found here) I installed the most recent package by using the ppa of the project (as described here) Install seems to be ok (no error messages)But when I try to run mixxx from the menu nothing happens. Nothing. Running it from the terminal with the command
Code:
mixxx
I get this error message:

Apache doesn't start with libedit.so.0.0.34 ( from libedit0-3.0.snap20090923-4.1.x86_64 ).
Code:

I performed a yum update and now my yum is not working and I am unable to start my apache processes (in a dmz configuration).This is the error I am getting from yum.

Linux Mint Debian Edition x64 is installed and running quite nicely. But as most 64bit users know, you have to take care of the 32bit libraries in order to run alot of software....well, only if you need to run 32bit software.
So, in practice, the first steps are to install ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk. That's the foundation. But sometimes that isn't enough....so, depending on your application, you have to discover it's dependencies....via 'ldd'.
For whichever libraries are required, I head over to the Debian 'testing' respository (which LMDE is based off) and search. So after satisfying the dependencies it should be good....take the following as example:
However, when trying to run the program the following error occurs:
Code: xxx@xxx ~/Floola $ ./Floola ./Floola: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_date_time_unref So from some research, this indicates an issue with a date stamp/version conflict...if this is incorrect, ...this is part of the learning process.
Anyway, this error occurs with other 32bit software i'm trying to run.
The strange thing, though, is that i've done a fresh install of LMDE and ran the same process of setting up the 32bit libs as I did before....but this time I get this error.
I have been trying to install lmms on my Slackware 12.1 system.I have installed QT, cmake in order to compile the source.
It seemed to install correctly (after a bit of reading about how cmake works....) but gives me this on run:
Quote:
bash-3.1$ lmms Notice: could not set realtime priority.lmms: symbol lookup error: lmms: undefined symbol: _ZN8QPainter10drawPixmapERK7QPointFRK7QPixmap bash-3.1$
So my understanding is that it is missing a file or command associated with the program, through it not being linked or not existing. Is there any way I can find out where it thinks this file/data should be, so as to ascertain what libs/packages have it? As far as I can tell, I have all dependencies satisfied.....
I was using audacious happily, but after the dist-update last week I can't get is working anymore. The error message is: audacious2: symbol lookup error: audacious2: undefined symbol: index_new
Version: audacious-2.2-1.pm.5.1 uname -a output is: Linux linux-9b84 2.6.27.39-0.2-default #1 SMP 2009-11-23 12:57:38 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Deleting .config/audacious, .local/share/audacious, and .cache/audacious doesn't help (it did with a similar problem before). how to get this program working again?
I've been having a somewhat disagreeable problem updating ffmpeg and all the other resources that need updating (libavcodec52 et al) for some time now. I'm asked to delete most of the software/libs that are needed for certain software (2man2dvd, etc...). At times it looks like I have some serious contortions to go through in order to update these rpm's. I'm using 11.0.
To make a long story short:./usr/bin/mplayer: relocation error: /usr/bin/mplayer: symbol codec_wav_tags, version LIBAVFORMAT_52 not defined in file libavformat.so.52 with link time reference
Debian-unstable. I tried to play some avi files with smplayer. I got an error message and searched the fscking web: http://www.mail-archive.com/pkg-multime ... 02393.html
I have installed the latest ffmpeg using this tutorial : HOWTO: Install and use the latest FFmpeg and x264.
What ever I do I always get the same error when trying to use ffmpeg with the new presets setting. I've searched forums and google the whole last day and now I'm pretty lost.
Here is the command I use (I've stripped it down to it's simplest form.):
Code: $ ffmpeg -i ~/Desktop/input.mkv -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_slow ~/Desktop/output.mp4 and this is the error:
[Code]....
I've tried changing the bitrate, adding -pass 1, bitrate tolerance, quality based etc... I've tried at least 60 different things... reinstall ffmpeg countless times using different tutorials. It's always the same error.
I am attempting to record my microphone input using ffmpeg / alsa but always receive the following error:
[code]...
Using arecord works perfectly with hw:0,0. I had also tried to use /dev/snd/hwC0D0 as input but I receive an error from alsa saying that it doesn't exist (despite it existing and having adequate permissions). I know absolutely nothing about hardware but am comfortable around the command line
I am having problems with ffmpeg. My goal is to capture a video stream from my webcam and feed that into a webcam-capturing program. But to get that to work, I will need ffmpeg to work. I need the following command to work, but I get an error:

It seems my laptop (an Acer Aspire One AOA150) runs out of MTRRs at boot. I've done some googling on the problem and read that people recommend turning on MTRR sanitizing to fix it, however, it still occurs. I'm running Arch Linux (but that shouldn't matter). You can see that I have enabled MTRR sanitization here:
Just wondering if anyone else has this partial upgrade being offered to them: ffmpeg, libavdevice52, libpostproc51, libswscale0 are held back (grayed out) in Update Manager.
I only use Update Manager manager to see if there are any updates and then use sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get-upgrade and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to actually examine the updates as it shows if anything will be removed without anything to replace it.
And I know to never do a partial upgrade.
Update Manager displays "Partial Upgrade" with the files listed above grayed out.
I did use sudo apt-get-upgrade to install a few packages earlier that were safe to install and now -
sudo apt-get-upgrade currently gives this output:
Code: The following packages have been kept back: ffmpeg libavdevice52 libpostproc51 libswscale0 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded
About 1 week ago, one of my PC's Hard Drives had stopped working. Because of that, I replaced the HD with a 2-set of Hard Disks from a earlier PC (whose Pentium 4 CPU failed). Because of a failed attempt in dual-booting with M$ WINDOW$, the MBR and Linux are separated between the hard drives. The computer booted up fine on first try (and even got into KDE), but it's internet didn't work (didn't even show eth0 on ifconfig). I decided to install some software via my old 8.04 LiveCD (I can't afford to format that PC for I have critical data on it, 0 DVDs, and no Flash drive), mounting it then chrooting it remembering to mount dev/pts sys and proc. Because the system was something old (Debian Squeeze from ~1 month ago), It had a kernel and GRUB upgrades which I missed among the ~600 others. Naturally, it failed to upgrade because of the missing /dev. Finally, I restarted my computer hoping for a upgraded PC with the programs. However, I instead got this:

I am running Ubuntu both native and on virtualbox on windows XP host. The problem apeared when upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04. System boots perfectly WinXP and Ubuntu. But the problem appears when I try to boot linux on virtual box. Following is the grub error:
GRUB loading. error: the symbol 'grub_puts_' not found grub rescue> _
I've tried to boot from alternate CD and "update-grub2" but the problem still appears.
On my office Notebook (which is absolutely the same HP nc6320) I've installed ubuntu 10.04 from scratch and it is working.
