Error: "ldconfig failed, exit status 256"

I’m trying to install the Tor Browser Launcher app (TBLA) in my Ubuntu 24.04 VM. The host is Tumbleweed on my AMD Ryzen laptop.

I went to flathub.org to get the TBLA flatpak and install it. After the TBLA installs I press OPEN and get the following error: openSUSE Paste –> ldconfig failed, exit status 256

How to fix this error?

I ran “sudo flatpak -v repair“ but it didn’t help

I ran “flatpak update“ and it said “nothing to do”.

apparmor is installed and running in the Ubuntu VM.

It seems that TBLA is trying to invoke ldconfig for some reason.Maybe apparmor is blocking it.Please check if temp stopping it resolves the issue.

systemctl stop apparmor

Replying to #2

I ran the command and then tried to install TBLA and then got the exact same error.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I checked and I saw the app icons for the Tor Browser and the Tor Browser Launcher. I was surprised. I clicked on the Tor Browser icon and it started up OK and it’s now working. So it seems the error didn’t prevent the Tor Browser from getting successfully installed.

I turned Apparmor back on to see if that causes any problems or not.
