[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1974254] Re: Probles with Clutter
Tim, I followed your advice and yes, that fixed most of the problems I was having. Apparently there was a system update that required a reboot, but there was an error and it just said all updates applied. This has occurred on the past couple of updates that didn't have too many changes, but something clearly got screwed up. I should have done this reboot myself, but I've become too comfortable believing the package manager. I won't make that mistake again. So that appears to resolve the issue.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1974254] Re: Probles with Clutter
??? Can you be more specific. I am fully patched on 20.04.4 and I still get the same error reports from geeqie and cheese. Both worked until very recently and neither package was updated in quite some time. The developer of geeqie reported that he saw the same problem. Then he didn't! I am also finding a lot of other stable applications have stopped working such as openshot and kdenlive video editors, although these are Qt apps. Possibly there is a deeper underlying problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to clutter-gtk in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1974254 Title: Probles with Clutter Status in clutter-gtk package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Running Xubuntu 20.04.4 I've started seeing all sorts of programs failing in the last week apparently due to clutter.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does
not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to
a question in the support tracker. We understand the difficulties you
are facing, but it is better to raise problems you are having in the
support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are
uncertain if they are bugs. You can also find help with your problem in
the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/
or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org. For help
on reporting bugs, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs.
Reasoning for this response: I suspect you're having trouble narrowing
this issue down, so I highly suggest getting help from one of the above-
mentioned methods and file a new bug (using ubuntu-bug {package name})
once you have that figured out. We have many support options, including
live chat (help getting set-up with that at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat).

Probles with Clutter
Status in clutter-gtk package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Running Xubuntu 20.04.4
I've started seeing all sorts of programs failing in the last week
apparently due to clutter. This includes Geeqie and Cheese, and
possibly Zoom, although I haven't tracked down the problem there. For
example, when I try to start geeqie, I get:
Can't initialize clutter-gtk.
Start geeqie with the option: --disable-clutter
When I try to run cheese I get:
(cheese:1207183): Clutter-CRITICAL **: 17:54:24.432: Unable to
initialize Clutter: Unable to initialize the Clutter backend: no
available drivers found.
** (cheese:1207183): ERROR **: 17:54:24.432: cheese-application.vala:89:

Trace/BPT trap(coredump)
In researching the problem I ran across this article:
https://blogs.gnome.org/clutter/
Now, I have no idea what clutter is/does, but it seems to now be
retired. Was the package removal back-ported to earlier releases of
Ubuntu? The gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0, gir1-clutter-1.0 and
gstreamer1.0-clutter-3.0 packages are still installed.
Any guidelines here? Thanks.
