[Bug 1509729] Re: gparted does not start, crashes with library symbol lookup error

[Charles Green]

I have resolved my issue:  I had added a file
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/LD_LIBRARY_PATH.conf containing the line
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1

The purpose of this file was to force loading of a vmware library:  This
library apparently interferes with the operation of Ubuntu in several
instances.
