Hello everyone, I have downloaded and compiled the C++ installation of protobuf yesterday on my Ubuntu 16.04 and everything seemed to be fine (make check passed everything in particular).
Now today when I restarted my computer, I wasn't able to open unity: the launcher and top pannel have disappeared and I can't open a terminal with the classical shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T for example. When I launch unity in a terminal, I get the following error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/unity/compiz-config-profile-setter: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcompizconfig.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZNK6google8protobuf7Message9SpaceUsedEv It seems that the protobuf installation has messed up with compiz and unity. I have tried several things to fix unity, but nothing worked: - Reinstall ubuntu-desktop with sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop - Reinstall libcompizconfig and also compiz entirely with apt-get. - Reinstall unity with apt-get - Uninstall protobuf with sudo make uninstall Do you have any idea why this happened and how to fix this? I would like to completely undo the protobuf install and have unity back as before, but obviously sudo make uninstall wasn't enough... Thanks in advance for your help! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
