Issues & Assistance

Hello,

After recent update I started getting error when starting garuda-settings-manager: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.74: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Tried
pacman -Syu garuda-settings-manager-git
no success.

Not sure how to proceed further to resolve it.

This is due to icu - either you downgrade icu to version 74.2-2 or you wait for a fix from the developers of garuda-settings-manager :grin:

Thanks! Yes, I am on icu version 75.1. Will wait for fix.

It’s better that way, because you would also have to downgrade gspell, harfbuzz-icu and raptor. And that would be nonsense :wink:

Will be rebuilt once the builders are back (TNE is working on them as we speak). Has been bumped here:

Edit: welp, it failed :frowning: someone needs to look into this before we go move forward.

This may be ill-advised, but whenever I’ve had this problem, I symlink the installed library to the requested library.

Here’s how.

First, find the location of garuda-settings-manager with the “whereis” command.

whereis garuda-settings-manager

Output:

garuda-settings-manager: /usr/bin/garuda-settings-manager

Next, see what libraries it’s failing to load using ldd.

ldd /usr/bin/garuda-settings-manager | grep icu

Output:

        libicuuc.so.74 => not found
        libicui18n.so.74 => /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.74 (0x00007aeb85400000)
        libicuuc.so.74 => not found
        libicuuc.so.74 => not found

This means it’s looking for “libicuuc.so.74” in any of the default locations.

Now, if you don’t know where it is, either search the internet or use the “find” command to see what versions you have installed.

sudo find /usr/lib -name "libicuuc.so*"

Output:

/usr/lib/libicuuc.so
/usr/lib/libicuuc.so.75
/usr/lib/libicuuc.so.75.2

If it doesn’t appear, then try using pacman to see what package provides the file.

pacman -F libicuuc.so

Output:

core/icu 75.1-1 [installed: 74.2-2]
    usr/lib/libicuuc.so

Once you’ve found the version you have installed, symlink it to the requested path.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.75 /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.74

Keep in mind that this is a temporary solution and it’s best to remove the symlink before updating. You can remove symlinks like this:

First, ensure it’s a symlink by using ls.

ls -l "symlink path"

It will have an arrow like this if it’s a symlink:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Mar 16 00:21 /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.75 -> libicuuc.so.74*

Then use rm to remove it.

sudo rm "symlink path"

Now, it’s safe to update.

Got fixed by @TNE in the meantime!

I should have checked to see if it successfully rebuilt, my bad.

Garuda Settings Manager is back. Just updated my system. All back to the way it was before. Thanks for all your work. You guys are awesome.

Hey, this is a nice little write up! It turns out it was not needed in this case, but those are pretty good notes nonetheless.

You are right, symlinking libraries is Kind of a Bad IdeaTM and should only be done temporarily (if at all). It can definitely break things. However, as a quick-and-dirty workaround it can occasionally come in handy.
