gnome-control-center: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstvideo-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: gst_aggregator_simple_get_next_time

in flag

A few days back I was trying to build wxWidgets-3.15 library on Ubuntu 21.04 with multiple flags enabled. I've had some issues with the build so I made a ticket on that on stackoverflow.

Unfortunately, not only I didn't manage to build the library after all, but it seems that in the process I messed up something regarding the GStreamer library. Specifically, the module libgstvideo-1.0.so.0 of the package libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 seems to be malfunctioning, and I can't open gnome-control-center, getting the following error:

gnome-control-center: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstvideo-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: gst_aggregator_simple_get_next_time

I've tried reinstalling, removing with --purge, autoremoving and upgrading gnome-control-center, ubuntu-desktop, libgstreamer-1.0-0 and installing all suggested packages as well but nothing has worked so far. I've also had added previously some NVidia drivers as shown in another AskUbuntu post,because it is not the first time running into issue with gnome-control-center. I've also looked at all the other posts around this issue but no solution has worked so far. Does anyone know what I'm suppossed to do?

Okay, I finally found it. GStremer had installed some libs under /usr/local/lib, specifically libgstbase-1.0.so, libgstbase-1.0.so.0, libgstbase-1.0.so.0.1405.0, libgstreamer-1.0.la, libgstreamer-1.0.so, libgstreamer-1.0.so.0 and libgstreamer-1.0.so.0.1405.0. After I removed them gnome-control-center worked fine. I hope nothing else has broken, I'll edit if I find something else out.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
