pixbuf error is back during latest update. Don't reboot without fixing it first.

[philinux]

The error says to run this :-

gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache

You need sudo -i first. It should tell you you need a pixbuf dev package installing. Do that then run the above code. All good to reboot.

[wgarcia]

Shouldn't it be:

gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache

you seem to be missing an "e" at the end.

I have seen that error before but never did anything with it. Reboots ok.
Why the mention about running that command before rebooting?

Because you end up with total system failure just after login.

Fixable from tty of course.

Not on my machine. Earlier today I updated. Which brought in the pixbuf update and required a reboot = no problems. Then after a couple of hours I shut down to rest my eyes and I have since rebooted without any problems. I decided to run that command anyway. I got this.

The program 'gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev

Which I did and then I ran the command. Well, in for a penny. In for a pound. Thanks anyway for the heads up. I guess the fact that some of us get these bugs and others do not is down to Phased Updates.

Regards.

+1 Graham.

I've only seen this before on my desktop. Laptop got hit today after an update and dist-upgrade. Nothing to remove etc. But on rebooting. Nada.

All that can be done in one line with tee...
Not tea but tee... Tea could be useful also as stimulus...
Do not we have every U+1 round couple of these situations?
