Since this morning, I could not open gnome-control-center and thought something was magically wrong. So, I resolved the issue as soon as possible.
The most basic and oldest method ever lived on the planet. The dear old reboot.
I know it’s not that professional. But I did it anyway. And it didn’t work, of course.
So, I started to dig into Systemd logs, with sudo journalctl -xf while opening the settings software.
Feb 08 21:05:08 mistborn gnome-control-center.desktop[35085]: gnome-control-center: error while loading shared libraries: /lib64/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0: file too short
So I decided to check for that .so file and reinstall the package:
sudo dnf provides '*/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0'
sudo dnf reinstall gstreamer1-1.20.0-1.fc35.x86_64
After that, I tried again, and the error changed. So, I got:
Feb 08 21:07:26 mistborn gnome-control-center.desktop[35938]: gnome-control-center: error while loading shared libraries: /lib64/libgstpbutils-1.0.so.0: file too short
The same here:
sudo dnf provides '*/libgstpbutils-1.0.so.0'
sudo dnf reinstall gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.20.0-1.fc35.x86_64
I don’t know why it happened. Perhaps some corrupted files were installed during the dnf update, but it seems improbable. And for 2 packages at the same time, it looks suspicious.
