Description of problem: Many applications (in my example gitg) shows error on console: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Start almost any application from terminal. Steps to Reproduce: 1. in terminal type gnome-terminal 2. 3. Actual results: Error message. Expected results: No error message Additional info:
yum install PackageKit-gtk3-module helps
The error message is annoying, but entirely harmless.
This was fixed for the gtk2 plugin long ago[1], but now we have gtk3. It should be fixed for that, too. [1] Bug 476066

Current Rawhide, x86_64, PackageKit-gtk3-module is installed, and I see this: [root@jerry-rawhide64 ~]# abrt-gui Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" Doing an strace shows that it looked in /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/modules, but NOT in /usr/lib64/gtk-3.0/modules. Is this because abrt-gui is a GTK 2.0 app, and PackageKit-gtk-module no longer exists?

To the previous 3 comments: You're missing PackageKit-gtk-module. You can follow bug 476066 instead of this one. It was broken by this commit: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=gnome-packagekit.git;a=commit;h=8d23f39012f144fec7de0b3ef9daf6da73312f3a
same thing in F17 #emacs Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" #gnuplot gnuplot> plot sin(x)/x Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"
Updated to F17 (from F16). Now getting this message when running gvim. Gvim does start up okay though.
Getting similar results on new F17 install which prevents libreoffice apps from starting, so agreed this is not a harmless message as it is preventing apps from starting. # yum install libreoffice .. .. # libreoffice Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" # locate pk-gtk-module /usr/lib64/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/gtk-modules/pk-gtk-module.desktop /usr/lib64/gtk-3.0/modules/libpk-gtk-module.so # yum install PackageKit-gtk3-module Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Package PackageKit-gtk3-module-0.7.4-4.fc17.x86_64 already installed and latest version Workaround from 476066 did not work either # wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/16/Fedora/x86_64/os/Packages/PackageKit-gtk-module-0.6.19-3.fc16.x86_64.rpm # rpm2cpio PackageKit-gtk-module-0.6.19-3.fc16.x86_64.rpm |cpio -idmv ./usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/modules/libpk-gtk-module.so 30 blocks # mv usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/modules/libpk-gtk-module.so /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/modules/ # libreoffice & [1] 7064 # ps 7064 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND [1]+ Exit 139 libreoffice # ps 7064 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
@Jon and anyone else thinking of commenting on this bug: The message you see is printed when GTK2 attempts to load all known modules. The PackageKit-gtk3-module package defines a .desktop file to load "pk-gtk-module". Unfortunately the GTK2 module has been removed from upstream so the module no longer exists in F17+. When GTK2 cannot find this module it prints the warning message you see. The message is printed and then normal GTK2 runtime continues. This does not cause programs to crash or not start. Whatever issue you have with libreoffice is not related to this bug.

@Michael Cronenworth: Some kind of strange is that nearly every program which is unable to start shows this kind of error or warning or whatever in shell. Evolution, all kind of LibreOffice tools, vlc, gimp. Pick what ever you want. I got this problem on a fresh installation of F17 x86_64.

I've added this upstream in PackageKit: commit 7e740e9c4c917ca717ce42295d071d57cbc97b30 Author: Richard Hughes <richard> Date: Tue Jun 12 10:27:26 2012 +0100 Add a dummy GTK+2 module to avoid a warning when starting GTK+2 applications :100644 100644 34557e3... b4bac56...

I see the change here: http://gitorious.org/packagekit/packagekit/commit/7e740e9c4c917ca717ce42295d071d57cbc97b30 Could you stick this commit in as a patch for F17 and put it in updates-testing? I can put an email out to the test list to see that it gets QA love.
Thanks, Richard. The F17 update works great.
