Symbol lookup error on running Genymotion in XUbuntu


I'm using XUbuntu and decide to use Genymotion as Android emulator,
I download the Genymotion deb file from their site and install it and also install the Virtualbox with apt but when I try to run it from the launcher noting happen!

I'm trying to run it from Terminal and see the following error:

./genymotion
./genymotion: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: FcWeightFromOpenType

in Synaptic the libpango was installed!
Thanks


Solution

  • Just use sudo to run the Genymotion and everything works!
    I don't know why this happen but when run app without sudo get the error on below:

    ./genymotion: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: FcWeightFromOpenType
    

    but if just run app with sudo like this: sudo ./genymotion everything works great!
