Although I know this is not very fun, as for me,
what I do when I met such problems is just install
another Linux distro, because such problems usually
stem from an unstable/too much bloated distro. A
good distro that I recommend to all the people which
want a simple, no-surprise Linux system is VectorLinux,
which is a lightweight distro built on Slackware :

I recently had a colleague switched from Fedora
to VectorLinux (on a laptop), everything went
perfectly (1 / 2 hours), while they spent the
whole afternoon without being able to solve
fixing links for shared libraries the day
before.
