Albert 0.13.1 broken after today's rollback
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Did not update to 0.14.15 last week, stayed on 0.13.1 until today's update, downloaded the rolled back version even though i had it installed, because it showed up in the software center updates.

Now Albert is broke for me with 0.13.1 installed, i get the same error users who upgraded to 0.14.15 got last week.

Frontend: Widget Box Model
Hotkey: alt + space
Theme: Arc Dark Blue

Works fine on first run if i delete .config & .local files for Albert, when try to start it the second time from the terminal i get:

[18:28:06] [FATAL] Failed loading frontend -- [(null)]

I noticed on the rollback version the path changed from /usr/lib64/albert/plugins/ to /usr/lib/albert/plugins/, is that how it should be in version 13.01 ?

Even though we rolled back R345:e08f0ed835b7 it still wasn't linking against libXext.so (XShapeQueryExtension is a symbol of libXext) which was the root of the problem. Looking into this now.

Would be cool, if you could get it working with 0.14.15+, too. 0.14 has a lot of improvements and new features, which would be very useful to me.
