Additional information

• Operating system name and version:
• CPU-X installation type: software store/ add or remove software

Bug information cpu-x: error while loading shared libraries: libcpuid.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In case of bug, please run the cpu-x --issue-fmt (or ./CPU-X-vx.y.z-aaa.AppImage --issue-fmt for AppImage) as root and attach both /tmp/cpu-x.log and /tmp/cpu-x-daemon.log files here.

UNABLE - same error

i tried the Discover store instead of the add or remove software section, im not sure the difference honestly. but i think its a flathub package instead in discover?

that seems to work instead, so i'll just use that. but for some reason the other version i downloaded and have been using for months without issue does not work anymore and i dont know why.

Since you did not fill the template properly (OS name and version) and I have no idea what "store" you are referring to, I cannot help.

error while loading shared libraries is a generic error: in this case, it means that CPU-X was built against libcpuid.so.16 (libcpuid v0.6.x), but that library is missing on your system. This is unlikely an issue with the AppImage or the Flathub version, it looks like a packaging issue or broken dependencies on your system.

im sorry, i made a system report thing, but it wont let me upload it. says invalid format.

even though i've been daily driving for like a year now it has nothing on using windows since i've been a child. thats my best guess, but i've not figured out how to update a single dependency without doing a system update which may or may not solve the problem.

i mostly figured i'd just try and be helpful to let you know, i am on Arch so i know its "bleeding-edge" so i figure this might start rolling out to other distro's/users soon.

also.. just double checked and turns out i can do a plain .txt version instead :facepalm:

hardinfo_report.txt

im sorry it wasn't as helpful as i was hoping. im pretty casual user and usually just do "generate and send report" which most applications dont have on linux it seems, they just end up not working with no boxes or anything lol

edit: also this is what i mean by application store , im honestly not entirely sure what the difference is or why i have two other than the "add or remove software" one gives me an option for AUR and Discover dosen't or im not sure how to use it for that. the add or remove software one is the one that had been working but broke, and uninstalling it and using the one from Discover which is a flathub thing is working. just more information if that does anything for you.

i am on Arch

I am on Arch too, and I can assure you the cpu-x package is not part of official repos: the package is on AUR and maintained by myself (cpu-x on AUR). In such case, people just need to rebuild the cpu-x package (makepkg -si).

According to your HardInfo report, you are using RebornOS. I have no idea how this graphical tools works. It seems you installed the cpu-x package from the AUR, so you need to figure out how to rebuild it.
