Ran into the same problem after updating a fresh install of Kubuntu 13.10 (64). Using the workaround and linking libwayland worked fine for me.
So ... sudo apt-get install libegl1-mesa-drivers ## Were already installed and latest version. ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa-egl/libwayland-egl.so.1 /usr/lib/libwayland-egl.so.1 ## Yeah. That was missing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1206371 Title: kwin is not starting: cannot find libwayland-egl.so.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/1206371/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
