Nice to hear Francois, see here - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/introductions/forum-posting-guidelines/ for help with posts.

Greetings Jerry, and thank you for the wonderful OS. It is the only Linux distro I have truly felt home with!

I ran both commands, and reinstalled FileZilla through Menu, System, Lite Software, but I still ended up with version 3.21.0. I have added PPAs in the past, but I'm fairly sure I haven't added one for FileZilla. Just to make sure, I checked every file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list.save, and none of them contain anything FileZilla related.

Is there any other file that could contain a PPA for FileZilla, or a way to check where it is installed from?

Thank you again very much!

[EDIT] Wait, I have getdeb in my sources, and it features FileZilla 3.21.0... I don't remember why I added it for, but I guess that was the problem. Thank you very much again!!! How can I mark this as solved?

I can't reproduce this by simply double-clicking a remote folder with the version from Lite Software. That is the version you should be using.
Looks like you got Filezilla from somewhere else (not recommended).

Delete the hidden home folder by doing:

Code: [Select]

rm -rf ~/.filezilla
Uninstall Filezilla.

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get --purge remove filezilla
Remove the Repo/PPA you got Filezilla from (if you have one).

Then install Filezilla from Menu, System, Lite Software.
And start Filezilla again.

You should then have version 3.15.0.2 installed.

Greetings!

I am having an issue with FileZilla (for a few weeks, now). More precisely, simply double-clicking a remote folder crashes FileZilla with the following output:

Code: [Select]

filezilla: symbol lookup error: filezilla: undefined symbol: _ZN2fz18replace_substringsERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIwSt11char_traitsIwESaIwEEES7_S7_
I felt like this was more of a FileZilla issue so I searched their forums and found this:

Your installed version of FileZilla is incompatible with your installed version of libfilezilla. Please update to the most recent versions of both FileZilla and libfilezilla.

However, both my versions are the latest available ones in the repository:

I have tried rebooting, reinstalling, etc... to no avail. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something I could do to troubleshoot the issue?

Thank you and have a nice day, fellow Lite'rs!

P.S. Also, totally unrelated but since this is probably very simple to fix, I'm rather ashamed to make a topic for this. My Whisker menu had the search bar and logout buttons at the bottom, and now they're above the actual menu. How can I revert them back?
