Gksqt: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libEGL_mesa.so.0: undefined symbol: wl_display_create_queue_with_name

I can’t show any plots from the terminal:

(@v1.11) pkg> activate --temp
  Activating new project at `/tmp/jl_qLK6Cw`

(jl_qLK6Cw) pkg> add Plots
   Resolving package versions...

julia> import Plots; Plots.plot(randn(50))

No plot is shown. I tried:

  • Nuking the compiled artifacts (rm -rf ~/.julia/compiled) and re-running add Plots to force a recompile. The error persisted.
  • sudo apt install --reinstall libegl-mesa0 && reboot
  • sudo apt install --reinstall libwayland-client0 && reboot. Both reinstalled fine, the error persisted.

Kubuntu 24.10, graphics: Wayland, Plots v1.40.9.
