[SOLVED]Ksnip & speedtest-cli not working

[linux_rules]

Ksnip was working fine but now it won't launch. I don't know what happened.
This is the error :

Code: Select all

$ ksnip 
ksnip: error while loading shared libraries: libkImageAnnotator.so.0.3.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I just installed speedtest-cli & that too is not working

Code: Select all

$ speedtest-cli 
Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...
Traceback (most recent call last):

    map(int, server_config['ignoreids'].split(','))

I chose LMDE thinking its more stable than Ubuntu but now I think I made a mistake.

Is it possible to fix Ksnip & speedtest-cli ?

The repo version of speedtest-cli is broken. Go here and follow the instructions:
https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gnupg1 apt-transport-https dirmngr
export INSTALL_KEY=379CE192D401AB61
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys $INSTALL_KEY
echo "deb https://ookla.bintray.com/debian generic main" | sudo tee  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/speedtest.list
sudo apt-get update
# Other non-official binaries will conflict with Speedtest CLI
# Example how to remove using apt-get
# sudo apt-get remove speedtest-cli
sudo apt-get install speedtest

For ksnip, you can try the AppImage: https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip/releases ... 4.AppImage
This should have all its dependencies included in it.

@spamegg

Just downloaded the Ksnip appimage & its working.
Don't want to add any 3rd party sources for security reasons so I have avoided the speedtest-cli repo. I will just use the web interface.

Thanks.

For speedtest-cli, remove the repo version and do this:

Code: Select all

pip install --user speedtest-cli

This will install speedtest-cli in $HOME/.local/bin. If you want to install it for everyone, try this:

Code: Select all

sudo pip install speedtest-cli

sudo pip install speedtest-cli

Please don't take this in a wrong way. Is that method safe in terms of security ? I am paranoid about security.

Yes. Check out the dev's Github page - https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli - it's mentioned as the first install option.

Command 'speedtest-cli' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo apt install speedtest-cli

What's going wrong ?

[ajgringo619]

Without using sudo (which is the preferred method), the binary got installed in $HOME/.local/bin, which is probably not in your $PATH. Logout, then back on - the $HOME/.local/bin directory should be automatically added to the $PATH.

For now, to test, run this from the terminal:

Code: Select all

$HOME/.local/bin/speedtest-cli

It worked. Thanks.
