Thunar Fails to Launch

Support Xfce
1

I have a similar issue as Bardo reported 15 days ago here. Web searches have been fruitless, so I’m hoping someone here will be able to help me troubleshoot.

I am on the Unstable branch, using XFCE.

Thunar from the terminal:

$ thunar
Thunar :Failed to load plugin file `/usr/lib/thunarx-3/libgtkhash-properties-thunar.so': libmbedcrypto.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is provided by mbedtls2 … do you have that installed ?
And/or a reason for thunar looking for it ? gtkhash I would guess ?

Seems to be about the same as this thread

The .7 version is only provided by mbedtls2.
(on Unstable, which @adreampuppet is using)

Thank you. I installed mbedtls2 and Thunar launched immediately.

Two responses within 5 minutes, problem solved.

Best Linux forum ever!

6

@Yochanan maybe rebuild gtkhash so it depends on mbedtls2 ?

7

I can point gtkhash to the different md.h C header location for mbedtls2, however mbedtls2 does not include the libmbedcrypto.a static library gtkhash is looking for whereas mbedtls does. Upstream has not adapted to mbedtls 3 and it fails to build against it.

Unfortunately, I may have to drop gtkhash completely. I dropped gtkhash-nautilus last year as upstream has not added support for Nautilus 43+.

8

Maybe just disable mbedtls support in gtkhash, worked in my test build. Mbedtls is not really needed. Every hash function can be replaced by some other library. Using only glib-checksums, linux-crypto and nettle is enough.

Oh, right. Why didn’t I think of that? :man_facepalming: Turns out upstream disables it by default, anyway.

Fixed with gtkhash 1.5-3 coming along shortly.
