[Bug 1290099] Re: libwayland-egl.so error for Cheese (wont start)

 

I was able to fix the error by installing some libwayland packages:

    sudo apt-get install libwayland-dev-lts-trusty libwayland-egl1-mesa-
lts-trusty

Cheese was working fine for me a few weeks ago, so I'm not sure how
these became uninstalled or why the cheese package didn't require them.
My only guess is that I had been using the Nouveau video driver and
switched to Nvidia because Nouveau doesn't support suspend/resume on my
laptop.

Now when I launch Cheese, it runs, but reports:

    There was an error playing video from the webcam

Title:
  libwayland-egl.so error for Cheese (wont start)

Status in cheese package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Cheese used to start and work fine.  I am not entirely sure when the problem started.  But now Cheese does not start.
  $ cheese
  The window doesn't load.  there is an error (when starting from the terminal)
  cheese: error while loading shared libraries: libwayland-egl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

  I have a similar problem with the User Accounts.

  Some update borked this wayland library being linked correctly.
  I am sure there is a fairly easy workaround.... but I would like it to be fixed, and not happen to anyone else.
