A variant of trinkity's solution finally worked for me: I deleted LD_LIBRARY_PATH.conf file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d
and then executed the command $ sudo ldconfig This worked, and VMware Player still seems to work as well. I had tried altering the contents of that file before, but I may not have reconfigured ld before checking, and that may have been the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1509729 Title: gparted does not start, crashes with library symbol lookup error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/1509729/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
