[SOLVED] Imagemagick doesn't have delegates

ondoho · 05-30-2020, 04:16 AM

First of all, try to identify your image like this:

Code:

/usr/bin/identify-im6 1.jpeg

That should work!
If it does, you can either modify your PATH to put /usr/local/bin behind /usr/bin, or delete your wild imagemagick install in /usr/local (although if you don't remember how it got there in the first place...).

I posted a wrong command earlier.
Try this instead:

Code:

apt search imagemagick|grep nstalled

for each package you get, do

Code:

dpkg -L package

and make sure it has nothing in /usr/local, or if it does, show us.

PS: when's the last time you did a succesful system upgrade?

You do understand that apt remove can only remove installed .deb packages? APT knows nothing about software that was installed with make install or rpm -i or zypper install or whatever else of package management tools you tried. BTW, please don't do this anymore. Installing software on Ubuntu with non-native package managers is a recipe for disaster.

Software that was built from source and installed with make install should be uninstalled with

As ondoho said above, please show the contents of /usr/local/bin.

I admit that I don't know what I'm doing. I find things online and follow them blindly sometimes. I never know what is dangerous or potentially problematic or harmless. Live and learn?

Ok. So, you have installed a locally built version of ImageMagick. Then try what ondoho suggested in #16.

Can you give me an example of what to execute based on this output? Like dpkg -L ___ (fill in the blank please)

And thanks for all your help. As far as the last successful system upgrade, I don't know. Can I do one now? Will it step on my applications, or will it be seamless?

Oh, that only means you successfully uninstalled the native package. Then install it again:

Code:

sudo apt install imagemagick

And sorry, I guess I was unnecessarily condescending in my previous post. When you attempt to install anything with a non-native tool like rpm it would most probably just error out. But this being Ubuntu, it may helpfully suggest you installing the missing parts. And if you're persistent enough and follow through with installing all the missing libraries and whatnot, in the end you might be able to actually install something with rpm. And that's where your real problems would start.

Default Ubuntu installation should have a thingy called update-notifier that would be nagging you about updates. Do you get any notifications?

Yay! That works for identify. What I really want is to use the convert command to create an animated gif. I thought if I could get identify to work then the convert would work too. It doesn't.

Any suggestions?

I just did a successful OS update. Not sure about the notifier. I probably ignore it from time to time.

Thanks for all your help. I'll close this ticket now.
