hi Seth, i feel i need to share my experience about that error: - here there is 14 ubuntu installation (gnome) that of course have all the 'gdk-pixbuff' packages installed. - some are fresh installs, other are 'rolling' ones (from as old as Precise) - i've not seen that error since ages - but i take care of the packages removal when that happens: i purge them to get rid of their old settings; and i'm also tracking orphans. May be i can be wrong, but i'm feeling these tweaks have their importance about that error.
So i still conclude that error is seen on systems with: old settings laying around, some broken links into /etc/rc?.d maybe. Maybe you should test these hypothesis on systems producing that error, if you know some of them near you. -- 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/619003 Title: GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/lib /gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache' Status in gdk-pixbuf package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gdk-pixbuf package in Debian: Incomplete Bug description: During installation of updated version of libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 on August 10th 2010, the apt term.log contained multiple (>300) copies of the following warning: (gtk-update-icon-cache:4729): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory Nevertheless, the file complained about exists, and is readable in gedit.
