Taking a screenshot using hotkey does not work.
When taking a screenshot from the command line, one gets the following
error message:
spectacle: error while loading shared libraries: liblapack.so.3: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
Creating a softlink for liblapack.so.3 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
fixes this issue.
The next error encountered then is:
spectacle: error while loading shared libraries: libblas.so.3: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
Creating a softlink for libblas.so.3 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu fixes
this issue. Taking screenshots with the KDE hotkey then works.
Those two should point to /etc/alternatives/ by default. Did you maybe
manually change the alternative in the past?
Can you send the output of:
update-alternatives --display liblapack.so.3-x86_64-linux-gnu
update-alternatives --display libblas.so.3-x86_64-linux-gnu
Thanks!
Jochen
Ok, I tried reinstalling the packages and now it works (and
update-alternatives output looks good now).
sudo apt-get install --reinstall liblapack3
sudo apt-get install --reinstall liblapack3
Not sure how that happened but thanks for looking into this.
