[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1492767] Re: gdk-pixbuf packages update breaks the GUI in Trusty 14.04.3
Maybe it's not related... but I prefer to register here. I use Trusty for some months (3,4...) and the last one or two dist- upgrades just got me out of my Unity Desktop. GUI login did not complete (always back to login), default wallpaper not shown, topbar not shown (icons, etc). Only console saved me (Ctrl-Alt-F1). I noticed the same info about Gdkpixbuf loader module in the bug description. Also gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders was not installed. But I just did not worry about these messages. On next boot the problem aroused. I analysed apt log file and isolated last two dist-upgrades (below). I decided to downgrade the first ones and I regained login to desktop.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1492767] Re: gdk-pixbuf packages update breaks the GUI in Trusty 14.04.3
It had seemed pretty bad, and I was in a wonder how something such as that can even happen, so I tried to reproduce it by installing the same ISO/Version in Virtualbox, and could not even reproduce it myself. There is still the error message at post install, but it does not affect the GUI in any way. I installed twice in a row in Virtualbox to be sure of the result and each time after updating, I didn't get the GUI to go wrong as it happened in that laptop. So this bug report can be put aside, unless something new comes out with gdkpixbuf.

The upgrade contained the following packages: gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0_2.30.7 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0_2.30.7 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-common_2.30.7 I fixed the issue by booting to the Live USB I had used to install, and repackage the programs with dpkg-repack, then reinstalled them using "sudo dpkg -i *.deb". (copied from the live usb to the home in the install, rebooted and reinstalled there). Problem solved for this install, where I have for now blocked the update for these three packages. At post-install, after I had updated, I had the same message as the people who reported that bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdk-pixbuf/+bug/1282294 (gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0:29671): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory This likely means that your installation is broken. Try running the command gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache to make things work again for the time being. and when trying to do so, the console returned a message stating gdk- pixbuf-query-loaders was not installed. (no such package in the repos either). More information can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2015/09/06/%23ubuntu-bugs.html where I discussed about this bug and my findings. Now I will try to produce this bug again in the Live USB (which has no persistence).

Then I started Synaptic, and oops! no GUI, only the borders of the window would show. Several other programs were affected and would not start (Geany, text editor), or show their content. After tests and research it appeared only GTK3 programs were affected. If using a theme with GTK2, or move the GTK configuration out of the way, the programs would work.
