I have validated the following on Ubuntu 21.04 (vanilla, upgraded from 20.10, using the gnome DE instead of Ubuntu):
* The Arduino application fails while loading /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblistSerialsj.so.1.4.0 due to undefined symbol: sp_get_port_usb_vid_pid * Running 'nm -D /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblistSerialsj.so.1.4.0' shows 'U sp_get_port_usb_vid_pid", meaning that that library depends on that symbol, but doesn't provide it * Running 'ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblistSerialsj.so.1.4.0' doesn't list any dependencies that provide the missing symbol * Installing the package listserialportsc and running "listserialportsc" works * Running 'nm -D /usr/bin/listserialportsc' also shows 'U sp_get_port_usb_vid_pid' * Running 'ldd /usr/bin/listserialportsc' lists 'libserialport.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libserialport.so.0 (0x00007f610efaa000)' * Running 'nm -D /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libserialport.so.0' prints '0000000000002700 T sp_get_port_usb_vid_pid' indicating that that library provides the missing symbol * Patching liblistSerialsj.so.1.4.0 so that it specifies an ELF dependency on libserialport.so.0 provides the missing symbol and allows the application to start as expected * This patching can be performed by running 'sudo patchelf --add-needed libserialport.so.0 liblistSerialsj.so.1.4.0' (recommended to back up the original library beforehand, e.g. sudo cp liblistSerialsj.so.1.4.0 liblistSerialsj.so.1.4.0.orig) Looking at the build scripts in the listSerialPortsC project, I suspect things were mis-translated going into the Ubuntu build process - the build scripts "vendor-in" the .c files with the required symbols rather than using a dynamic-link dependency on the libserialport.so library. If the debian package for liblistSerialsj is compiling the project sources without either adding -Lserialport to the compile/link line or vendoring in those sources, that would explain the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1916278 Title: Arduino fails to start: undefined symbol: sp_get_port_usb_vid_pid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arduino/+bug/1916278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
