Don't have the libglib package list from before the ppa-purge, output went beyond my terminal buffer before I copied this down. But pretty much all the libglib files were from the webupd8 ppa.
These are the steps I took on the machine I found this on originally, which worked. Thank you! Still have to attempt this on another machine. Probably won't be until Sunday though. $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:webupd8team/gvfs-libmtp ... lots of removed and downgraded packages ... $ dpkg -l | grep libglib ii libglib-perl 2:1.241-1 interface to the GLib and GObject libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.1-0ubuntu2 GLib library of C routines rc libglib2.0-0:i386 2.35.4-0ubuntu5~webupd8~precise1 GLib library of C routines ii libglib2.0-bin 2.32.1-0ubuntu2 Programs for the GLib library ii libglib2.0-cil 2.12.10-2ubuntu4 CLI binding for the GLib utility library 2.12 ii libglib2.0-data 2.32.1-0ubuntu2 Common files for GLib library ii libglib2.0-dev 2.32.1-0ubuntu2 Development files for the GLib library ii libglibmm-2.4-1c2a 2.32.0-0ubuntu1 C++ wrapper for the GLib toolkit (shared libraries) # Didn't quite get it all... $ sudo apt-get purge libglib2.0-0:i386 $ dpkg -l | grep libglib ii libglib-perl 2:1.241-1 interface to the GLib and GObject libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.1-0ubuntu2 GLib library of C routines ii libglib2.0-bin 2.32.1-0ubuntu2 Programs for the GLib library ii libglib2.0-cil 2.12.10-2ubuntu4 CLI binding for the GLib utility library 2.12 ii libglib2.0-data 2.32.1-0ubuntu2 Common files for GLib library ii libglib2.0-dev 2.32.1-0ubuntu2 Development files for the GLib library ii libglibmm-2.4-1c2a 2.32.0-0ubuntu1 C++ wrapper for the GLib toolkit (shared libraries) Reboot, still black screen, no icons... $ sudo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache Reboot, success! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdk-pixbuf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174253 Title: Segfault (core dumped) in gdk-pixbuf on upgrade Status in pixbuf library for gtk+: Unknown Status in “gdk-pixbuf” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In two machines I had errors in the upgrade from Precise to Raring.
