Tilix: Tilix symbol lookup error in Kali

[secdoc]

The following error/issue began yesterday after performing apt update&&apt upgrade and then later restarting system. Running the following version of Kali - Linux kali 5.2.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.2.9-2kali1 (2019-08-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Error: _symbol lookup error_ tilix_ undefined symbol_ _D4glib1c5types__T6ScopedTC3gio22ApplicationCommandLineQyZQBo6__dtorMFZv

I have removed and re-installed and everything is installing fine...just not running and generating error when trying to start from terminal, otherwise there is no response. I have seen that there have been similar issues with others on various distros, but I have been running Tilix for a while and never had this occur before... Any ideas?

So, it appears you have the same version I had which means you might be updating from the Kali servers. Removing Tilix and installing the latest stable v1.9.3 fixed this issue for me.

Remove Tilix
sudo apt remove tilix

From the Tilix website:

For 64-bit distros where a package is not available, Tilix can be installed manually from the Tilix Github releases section by downloading tilix.zip and following these instructions:

wget https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/releases/download/1.9.3/tilix.zip
sudo unzip tilix.zip -d /
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

As of 4th-October-2019, I had the same issue on when I installed tilix from apt for parrot OS

Distributor ID: Parrot
Description:    Parrot GNU/Linux 4.7
Release:        4.7
Codename:       n/a

Downloading the release from tilix website worked for me :)

Super thank for answer @rootleet

_Thanks @rootleet for reposting my solution as your own._

Kali is they are normally a few versions behind on most tool repositories. When they update this package the issue will probably be remediated.

_Until then... Removal and reinstall from directly Git worked for me._

Check Tilix Version (This was happening with v1.8.9-1 for me, but possibly in other versions.)
sudo apt show tilix

Package: tilix
Version: 1.8.9-1
Priority: optional

Remove Tilix
sudo apt remove tilix

Install Tilix
wget https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/releases/download/1.9.3/tilix.zip
sudo unzip tilix.zip -d /
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

I hope this helps other Kali Tilix users.
