Ubuntu Version: 24.04
Desktop Environment: GNOME
Problem Description
After upgrading today from 22.04 to 24.04 (and solving a big crash in the process!), everything seems (so far) to work correctly, except that devilspie2
doesn’t work.
$ devilspie2
devilspie2: error while loading shared libraries: liblua5.3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I’m using Ubuntu on XOrg, not Wayland.
I removed and then reinstalled it (some lines below removed for brevity):
$ sudo apt install devilspie2
…
The following additional packages will be installed:
liblua5.1-0
The following NEW packages will be installed
devilspie2 liblua5.1-0
0 to upgrade, 2 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
…
Selecting previously unselected package liblua5.1-0:amd64.
…
Unfortunately, this didn’t help, But, as you can see, it installs liblua5.1-0
, which is a different version from the error message that attempting to run devilspie2 returns (liblua5.3.so.0
).
Do you know what I need to do to get it working, please?
