  1. Tried to run gnome-control-center.

  2. But there is error gnome-control-center: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgoa-backend-1.0.so.1: undefined symbol: g_uuid_string_random

  3. Updated from Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10. Before it worked well.
  4. Tried to reinstall it, but it didn't help.
  5. Here someone faced this problem and solved, but I tried it and no success.
  6. The output of ldd /usr/bin/gnome-control-center (correct lines are removed by N0rbert) :

    ...
    libatk-1.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0 (0x00007f557b3c9000)
    ...
    libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f557a38a000)
    ...
    libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f5579b87000)
    ...

  • Please edit your question and add output of ldd /usr/bin/gnome-control-center to it.

You can try to reinstall the package containing libgoa-backend-1.0.so.1.0.0:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgoa-backend-1.0-1

According to your ldd output you have some strange libraries:

/usr/local/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0

You should move them out the way:

mkdir ~/usr_local_lib
sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0 ~/usr_local_lib
sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 ~/usr_local_lib
sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 ~/usr_local_lib

For predictable results it is recommended to reinstall packages of these libraries:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libatk1.0-0 libglib2.0-0

You may want to investigate /usr/local/lib/ folder further.

  • Hello @N0rbert, Thank you for response. There is still this error yet. Feb 19, 2018 at 7:23
  • Updated your question and my answer - you have 3 libraries in /usr/local/lib, all other libraries are in correct place.

    Great! It is working now! As you said I moved those 3 .so from /usr/local/lib/. Thank you very much! Feb 20, 2018 at 10:59
