Since this morning I was not able to open gnome-control-center and I thought there was something magically wrong. So, I tried to resolve the issue in the easiest way as possible.
The most basic and oldest method ever lived in 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 installed during and dnf update but it seems highly improbbale to me. And for 2 packages at the same time it looks suspicious.
