sudo command broken, shared libraries not found #9

Closed jerohnimaux closed 6 years ago

Hi,

I installed the drivers then I got strange messages when typing sudo command in terminal. I tried to remove the driver by deleting the shared libraries in /usr/local/lib, now sudo command is completely broken.

Here is the message I got each time I type sudo command:

fingerprint-helper: error while loading shared libraries: libfprint.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

then entering my password give me a error message and I can do nothing.

I run Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon based on Ubuntu 16.04. I can't even reinstall the drivers, because I need sudo command.

Can you help me ?

I found the solution. I may have broken my system by touching files of libfprint package. I restarted on USB Live, chrooted and removed the package involved.
