How to fix missing libwayland-egl.so.1 and libuser-accounts.so in ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS?

Question

I tried to use the command gnome-control center -l and it gave me an errors saying some shared objects are missing . This is the result :

gnome-control-center -l

libwayland-egl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/unity-control-center-1/panels/libuser-accounts.so
Unknown option -l

Run /usr/bin/unity-control-center --help to see a full list of available command line options.

So I tried this and it also gave the same result :

unity-control-center -l

libwayland-egl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/unity-control-center-1/panels/libuser-accounts.so
Unknown option -l

Run unity-control-center --help to see a full list of available command line options.

Following this thread I tried the following commands and those gave me the following results :

sudo apt-file update

sudo apt-file find libwayland-egl.so.1

libhybris: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libhybris-egl/libwayland-egl.so.1
libhybris: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libhybris-egl/libwayland-egl.so.1.0.0
libwayland-egl1-mesa: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libwayland-egl.so.1
libwayland-egl1-mesa: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libwayland-egl.so.1.0.0
libwayland-egl1-mesa-dbg: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libwayland-egl.so.1.0.0
libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-utopic: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libwayland-egl.so.1
libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-utopic: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libwayland-egl.so.1.0.0
libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-vivid: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libwayland-egl.so.1
libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-vivid: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libwayland-egl.so.1.0.0

It said about missing dependency account plugin ubuntuone . So I tried installing it but it installed some packages meant for ubuntu mobile . I removed those wrong packages and reinstalled the previous ones following this thread and after that everything is good like before but the error I mentioned before about libwayland-egl.so didn't get solved . And still user-accounts.so shows failed to load .

How do I solve this ? I am trying to solve it because I can't access user-accounts from system settings . Whenever I try to access user accounts it always keep showing system settings over and over again . I can't even close it in anyway possible . It just keeps showing up .

Solution

I had a same problem with Cinnamon 2.8.6 on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS I managed to fix it by running:

sudo apt-get install libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-trusty

Hope that helps.
