I can not use GDI+ related things on Fedora 30.
I am getting an error while calling Image.FromStream(ms).

You can try

sudo apt install libc6-dev 
sudo apt install libgdiplus

or https://github.com/mono/libgdiplus

karelz · 2019-05-17T20:46:27Z

Looks answered. Feel free to reopen if you need more help.

Thanks @igoventura for your help on multiple issues here! It's appreciated!

Thanks for replying @igoventura

oguzhantopcu · 2019-05-17T22:33:51Z

libgdiplus is already installed on my computer. I have already shared my version numbers.

I have just tried compiling/installing libgdiplus from the source code. it did not worked. I still get the same error.

I think I have no right to re-open the issue. so it is up to you.

safern · 2019-05-17T23:24:09Z

libc6-dev

did you install libc6-dev as well? It is required by libgdiplus

Also could you please try setting: LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable to point to the location of libgdiplus.

Also you can use LD_DEBUG to find out which library it is actually not finding, because even though you have libgdiplus you could be missing a dependency like libc6-dev which would cause the load to fail.

http://www.bnikolic.co.uk/blog/linux-ld-debug.html

sxtfv · 2019-06-04T12:15:07Z

Hello, I am using Fedora 30 and .net core 2.1 and I have exactly the same issue. I can see you suggest to install libc6-dev, but it's not available for Fedora. What I have installed is: glibc, glibc-devel, glibc-devel.i686, libgdiplus, libX11-devel, but it still doesn't work. Which packages should be installed to make it work on Fedora?

oguzhantopcu · 2019-06-04T17:03:31Z

I have installed all libraries you have suggested. I also downloaded libgdiplus source then compiled/installed myself. did not work.

I set env variable as you specified. Same error.

I have tried to use LD_DEBUG, I could not investigate anything since it is giving an output like a matrix (movie) window.

Alsı I have failed to redirect LD_DEBUG output to a file ">" or | tee is not working.

oguzhantopcu · 2019-06-11T21:51:18Z

Is it possible to re-open this issue since it is not resolved actually? @karelz

safern · 2019-06-11T21:57:41Z

@oguzhantopcu could you please run find -name libgdiplus* on your computer?

Try linking /usr/lib64/ to /usr/lib/.

Also, it would be great if you could share LD_DEBUG output. That would really help me understand where the runtime is trying to load libgdiplus from.

EDIT:
I didn't see that you tried to use LD_DEBUG when initially commented. Did you try setting a LD_DEBUG value for libraries only?

i.e: export LD_DEBUG=libs dotnet test ...

oguzhantopcu · 2019-06-11T22:07:36Z

find gives nothing but locate libgdiplus gives following

/usr/lib64/libgdiplus.so

what I have tried:

export LD_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/; dotnet test Pompa.Business.Tests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~Invoice_Cast"

export LD_LIBRARY=/usr/lib64/; dotnet test Pompa.Business.Tests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~Invoice_Cast"

export LD_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/; dotnet test Pompa.Business.Tests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~Invoice_Cast"

export LD_DEBUG=libs; dotnet test Pompa.Business.Tests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~Invoice_Cast"

The last one gives HUGE output, I can not examine it nor copy from the console. I can not redirect the output to the text file neither. ">" or | tee is not doing the trick.

safern · 2019-06-11T22:48:12Z

can you do the last one and grep for libgdiplus?

export LD_DEBUG=libs; dotnet test Pompa.Business.Tests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~Invoice_Cast" | grep libgdiplus

safern · 2019-06-11T22:54:05Z

Also, do you have: glibc-locale-source installed?

Btw, I'd like to mention that we just found out that libgdiplus is not working on Fedora30 because one of its dependencies did a breaking change making an API private which they use. So it fails with: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libgdiplus.so.0: undefined symbol: GifQuantizeBuffer

I've started a thread with them and also have tracking issue: mono/libgdiplus#546

oguzhantopcu · 2019-06-11T23:17:13Z

@safern grep is not working with LD_DEBUG. it gives all the output without any filtering, nor >, | tee are working.

BTW I am using fedora 30 :).

safern · 2019-06-12T00:39:10Z

Ok, so I got a local repro, used LD_DEBUG=libs and then found the error. The loader is hitting a fatal error when trying to load libgdiplus because of the issue I pointed above that GifQuantizeBuffer no longer exists on Fedora30. So this is a libgdiplus issue, I've contacted them via email and also pinged them on the issue above. Sorry for the headaches, and your setup seems correct, however our error is not ideal. We do have an issue in corefx to improve that error: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/37260

Installed libc6-dev & libgdiplus but still error. Ubuntu 16.03. Please re open this issue.

khanghyxda · 2019-07-03T10:47:58Z

oguzhantopcu · 2019-07-03T11:53:10Z

@khanghyxda

You can fix the problem by installing System.Drawing.Common 4.6.0-preview.

TraceLD · 2019-07-26T03:43:23Z

Use 4.6.0-preview7.19362.9 version of System.Drawing.Common like so:
<PackageReference Include="System.Drawing.Common" Version="4.6.0-preview7.19362.9" /> to fix the issue.

WinderBless · 2019-08-02T02:47:54Z

i meet the same error, after i updata System.Drawing.Common to 4.6.0-preview it`s okay~~

zzzzz00000 · 2019-08-19T09:49:20Z

I have same error. It is not working with "4.5.1", it is not working with "4.6.0-preview8.19405.3". But working with "4.6.0-preview7.19362.9".

msx752 · 2019-08-29T00:47:21Z

.net core 3 preview8 has different issue such as non displaying text which drawing on bitmap. it shows empty square

joalcava · 2019-09-20T17:01:19Z

Still an error in Ubuntu 19.04 using .net core 3 rc1, I have tried everything that is said in this issue.

safern · 2019-09-20T19:33:34Z

Still an error in Ubuntu 19.04 using .net core 3 rc1, I have tried everything that is said in this issue.

could you please share what version of the S.D.Common package and what target framework did you use?

joalcava · 2019-09-20T19:43:39Z

could you please share what version of the S.D.Common package and what target framework did you use?

Hi @safern, <TargetFramework> is: netcoreapp3.0, I'm not referencing S.D.C directly because I'm using a library call EPPlus, It seems like they are using 4.5.1

safern · 2019-09-20T20:19:29Z

I see, that is the problem. We fixed the way we're hooking up the native loading of the dependencies to make it better, so you would need to use a System.Drawing.Common that is >= 4.6.0, would you mind trying to add a PackageReference to S.D.Common, with version 4.6.0-rc1 and validating if you still hit the issue? (If you're consuming their library through package reference as well, your reference would win, and you would use the latter).

joalcava · 2019-09-20T22:37:44Z

@safern Thank you! You saved my day, I had tried that before but with the preview6 version of the package and it didnt work, now it does with the rc1!.

I had same problem in gitlab pipeline, so I added

"apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y libc6-dev libgdiplus"

and it helped

msx752 · 2019-12-08T00:38:45Z

this solved my issue on .NET Core 3.1

Hello, I am facing the exact same issue as well. We are on .NET Core 3.1, have the latest System.Drawing.Common 4.7.0 installed but when we try to deploy this to Linux Azure App Service, we face the exact same issue. None of the above mentioned solutions seem to be working. I am chatting with Azure Support and they are looking into a solution. Any help would be very much appreciated.

atrueresistance · 2020-02-21T00:28:34Z

Like @msx752 stated, apt-get update && apt-get install -y apt-utils libgdiplus libc6-dev has to be ran. The issue I ran into was the same as @Binb1 where I have 3.1 installed and running on a ubuntu server with System.Drawing.Common 4.7.0 nuget package. If you change the package to include the prerelease 4.7.0-preview3.19551.4 solved my issue.

ogg130 · 2020-03-02T16:10:53Z

back in dotnetcore 2.2, I had to use this process to add all of the necessary libraries to my container so that it would work with system.drawing. This may have to be updated for 3.1. I'm actually working on this today for 3.1 so ill provide any updated instructions as I find them:

docker pull ubuntu
docker run -t ubuntu:latest /bin/bash -> to open a container shell ->
apt-get update apt
apt-get install wget
wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
apt-get install apt-transport-https
apt-get update
apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.2 <---- this will need to change for sure
apt-get install libgdiplus
cd /usr/lib
```
ln -s libgdiplus.so gdiplus.dll
```
apt-get install libc6-dev libx11-dev
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Andotnet · 2020-03-03T07:30:43Z

Just add
runtime.osx.10.10-x64.CoreCompat.System.Drawing
nuget package

eduardoluizm · 2020-03-06T21:51:40Z

On Linux Azure App Service, you can do this:

Just insert the code below on "Startup command" changing the dll name.

apt-get update && apt-get install -y apt-utils libgdiplus libc6-dev && dotnet YourWebSite.dll

this solved my issue!

Faeinc · 2020-03-15T06:14:49Z

This did not work for me. Anyone else have other solutions?

aseemgautam · 2020-03-17T14:24:52Z

@Andotnet thanks, it worked for me.

I had mono-libgdiplus installed & everything was working fine. Strange but updating VS on osx triggered this issue.

Referencingruntime.osx.10.10-x64.CoreCompat.System.Drawing fixed it.

Bruno2049 · 2020-04-20T22:20:37Z

brew install mono-libgdiplus

@amirvenus that solve the problem, thanks

naouaro · 2020-04-27T12:16:57Z

On macOS Catalina, VSCode 1.44.2

nuget -> "runtime.osx.10.10-x64.CoreCompat.System.Drawing" fixed the problem

leopignataro · 2020-04-30T00:10:39Z

On Linux Azure App Service, you can do this:

Just insert the code below on "Startup command" changing the dll name.

apt-get update && apt-get install -y apt-utils libgdiplus libc6-dev && dotnet YourWebSite.dll

this solved my issue!

This, too, solved by problem on an Azure App Service running on Linux, thank you @eduardoluizm

Two questions, tough:

Why install apt-utils?
How big of a performance hit will this cause (especially considering the apt-get update)?

And perhaps the biggest question of all: is this a .NET Core bug? Or perhaps a problem with the Docker image, that should have these packages installed? I see a huge variety of platform-specific solutions on this thread, but are we really supposed to need these workarounds in the first place?

pmamcdk · 2020-05-28T22:11:59Z

Had the same problem on my mac in visual studio 2019. Installed mono-libgdiplus with brew but this wasn't enough. Read many articles, but some how no one mention that you with visual studio for mac also need to install the "runtime.osx.10.10-x64.CoreCompat.System.Drawing" by the build in nuget manager. After this it's working. Hopefully this will help others save some time.
Thank you naouaro for giving me the hint.

leopignataro · 2020-12-10T15:24:35Z

Here's my two cents: this used to be a problem for me on Azure App Services running on Linux. I solved it adding the "apt-get ... && apt-install ..." line as suggested on previous posts. However, sometime around Oct/Nov of 2020, this stopped being an issue. I no longer need to add anything on the Startup command, it just works.

Perhaps there was some kind of change on the underlying Azure infrastructure... It remains a mistery to me why this was an issue in the first place for so many people.

cdavidyoung · 2023-01-12T12:16:45Z

The comment by @pmamcdk above fixed my problem on Mac. Need to install the "runtime.osx.10.10-x64.CoreCompat.System.Drawing" by the build in nuget manager.
