Ubuntu 17.10 undefined symbol: PyFPE_jbuf

[rogerf...@gmail.com]

Hello there,
I am having fresh Ubuntu 17.10 installation.

This is what happens:

from https://askubuntu.com/questions/981118/correct-way-to-install-python-2-7-on-ubuntu-17-10

sudo apt update

sudo apt dist-upgrade

sudo apt install python2.7 python-pip

sudo apt install python3-pip

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kivy-team/kivy

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install python-kivy

create main.py

    import kivy
    kivy.require('1.0.6') # replace with your current kivy version !

    from kivy.app import App
    from kivy.uix.label import Label


    class MyApp(App):

        def build(self):
        return Label(text='Hello world')


    if __name__ == '__main__':
        MyApp().run()


I get this:

lasse@dell:~/pyyton$ python main.py

Help appreciated

There is a problem with the binary package on 17.10. Try building Kivy from source. That should work.

It seems to work, but there is [critical] at log:
