Finally, I managed to fix the issue myself.
I found this bug report describing a similar problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1636626 - based on that, I: 1. uninstalled `apt purge nautilus-extension-fma nautilus-image- converter` (to make sure none of the extensions are calling Python2. after this step, I noticed another error (that previously did not appear): `(org.gnome.Nautilus:15062): Nautilus-Python-WARNING **: 05:32:20.623: g_module_open libpython failed: /usr/lib/libpython3.8.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory` 2. I fixed the error by: `sudo ln -s /usr/lib/aarch64-linux- gnu/libpython3.8.so.1.0 /usr/lib/` ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #1636626 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1636626 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pygobject in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1980735 Title: calling import _gi causes ImportError _gi.cpython-38-aarch64-linu- gnu.so Status in pygobject package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have noticed this error several days ago when overlay icons in nautilus stopped working. I cannot pinpoint any action that might have caused this behaviour as I do remember them working. I have even tried reinstalling using `apt` and even installing the GObject library locally in my home folder using `pip3`, but I am getting the same errors. I am confident the bug is not in the Nextcould integration itself as I am getting the same error with other Nautilus extensions as well. I have been trying to find a clue on the internet for hours, but I was unable to find even a hint. Can someone please help? I would be grateful to get the extensions working again (mainly the overlay icons). These are the errors I am getting when starting Nautilus. I was getting the same errors when using the system-wide version. I tried installing the lib in my home folder to rule out corrupted filesystem. ``` Initializing nautilus-image-converter extension ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: ImportError('/home/user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gi/_gi.cpython-38-aarch64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: PyExc_NotImplementedError')) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/syncstate-Nextcloud.py", line 29, in <module> from gi.repository import GObject, Nautilus File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 40, in <module> from . import _gi ImportError: /home/user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gi/_gi.cpython-38-aarch64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: PyExc_NotImplementedError Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/nautilus-hide.py", line 19, in <module> from gi.repository import Nautilus, GObject File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 40, in <module> from . import _gi ImportError: /home/user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gi/_gi.cpython-38-aarch64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: PyExc_NotImplementedError Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/nautilus-gsconnect.py", line 10, in <module> import gi File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 40, in <module> from . import _gi ImportError: /home/user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gi/_gi.cpython-38-aarch64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: PyExc_NotImplementedError ``` ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: python3-gi 3.36.0-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-1065.75-raspi 5.4.189 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-1065-raspi aarch64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.24 Architecture: arm64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip Date: Tue Jul 5 14:23:30 2022 ImageMediaBuild: 20200423.1 SourcePackage: pygobject UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pygobject/+bug/1980735/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
