Can't run EAGLE on Debian 10 (testing)

[Anonymous]

On starting EAGLE executable:

symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLX_mesa.so.0: undefined symbol: xcb_dri3_get_supported_modifiers

This is for EAGLE versions 9.1.3 and 9.2.0.

Please note that Debian 10 is incoming version (as for October 2018).

You can make it work by removing all libxcb files from the eagle lib folder.

Make sure you have the following packages installed :

- libx11-xcb1

- libxcb-dri2-0

- libxcb-dri3-0

- libxcb-glx0

- libxcb-present0

- libxcb-sync1

- libxcb-xfixes0

Thanks!  That fixed it for me on Ubuntu 18.10 as well.

Thanks for your reply!

Removing this libs makes Eagle start with splash-screen, but then next problem freezes the app:

Sandboxing disabled by user.
LaunchProcess: failed to execvp:
/opt/eagle-9.2.0/libexec/QtWebEngineProcess
[2897:2897:1008/232950.988929:ERROR:child_process_launcher.cc(522)] Failed to launch child process

Am I missing some system libs, packages or something...?

The archive has some quirks on the permissions.

Check the execute permissions of


/opt/eagle-9.2.0/libexec/QtWebEngineProcess


Set them proper by executing in a shell :


sudo chmod 755 /opt/eagle-9.2.0/libexec/QtWebEngineProcess

That's it, my Eagle runs with no more problems!

(Also, I can confirm the files inside archive has some weird permissions and ownership set - IMHO this can cause some security issues and should be fixed with high priority.)

confirm, this procedure also works with OpenSuse Tumbleweed (as of today).

Thanks a lot.

I still get the same error on parrot security os

removing all libxcb worked for me on ubuntu 19.04 with Eagle v9.4.0 but a snap app would have avoided this issue snap apps are independent and doesn't require any installation of any libraries whatsoever and doesn't depend on the OS and sandboxed Autodesk should consider releasing a snap app for Eagle for better experience instead of this current mess

They are also HUGE and unwieldy and VERY SLOW and subject to random breakage, worse than a virtual machine. At least in my experience of them.

Running 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-dri3.so.0 ./eagle' seems to work, but might run into other issues

Xubuntu x64 19.04

You just have to run following command (attached in image).

Then eagle will work perfectly.

Moving those files in the lib directory worked for me in Ubuntu 19.04

On debian 10 STABLE, I already had the packages mentioned in one of the solutions installed.  I was able to run eagle by removing the libxcb files in the lib folder as well as not removing them and simply doing the preload.  With that said, here is my startup script to run eagle without deleting the libs.

#!/bin/bash
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-dri3.so.0
./eagle

It worked perfect in my case. Thanks 

[Anonymous]

Thank you. This works.

[Anonymous]

It works for me also. I upgraded from Kubuntu 18.10 to 20.04 and it was no more working after the upgrade.

Thank you very much.

Hi @wouterPVXPT, I am on Ubuntu 20.04 - tried the bits that are all listed here, the issue with my Eagle (9.6.2) is somewhat different - when I run eagle from console I get this message: 

[113662:113662:0100/000000.019895:ERROR:broker_posix.cc(41)] Invalid node channel message
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

In the syslog file I get:

Packages are in, permissions are set...

It worked once (before I got the config settings from the previous version) but it crashed at insecure site window.

Any help will be appreciated - thanks!
