So is this fixed already? I haven't been able to resolve the problem on my laptop, here is what I tried:

Any idea what I should do? -- 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+: Fix Released Status in “gdk-pixbuf” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gdk-pixbuf” source package in Precise: In Progress Bug description: [ Description ] In the Raring cycle, libgobject gained a global constructor. If a dynamically loaded module (by gdk-pixbuf-query-modules, which is called by a postinst trigger in this package, so quite common on upgrades) happens to dlclose() libgobject then we get this crash. This can easily happen in dist-upgrades if you get unlucky with the ordering. [ Proposed fix ] Build with -Wl,--no-as-needed to ensure we get linked against libgobject even though we use none of its symbols. In later glib & gdk-pixbuf releases, there's a function g_type_ensure() which is used for this purpose, but we don't have that in 12.04. [ Development Fix ] Described above: g_type_ensure() is used. [ Regression potential ] Not sure. The library will now be linked against more things so it could be a bit slower to initialise. [ QA ] 1.
