Description

Is there an existing issue for this?
  • I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug

Various messages appear in Terminal, maybe expected, maybe needing attention. I appreciate the canberra ones are normal. This is from the nightly appimage from yesterday -

./Desktop/Darktable-5-3-0-build805-master-10Nov.AppImage
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxy/libpxbackend-1.0.so: undefined symbol: g_once_init_leave_pointer
Failed to load module: /tmp/.mount_DarktaenlEMM/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiolibproxy.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gvfs/libgvfscommon.so: undefined symbol: g_task_set_static_name
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so
Gtk-Message: 10:13:19.606: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 10:13:19.607: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

** (darktable:7307): WARNING **: 10:13:44.637: atk-bridge: get_device_events_reply: unknown signature

The last one occurs when pressing L in the darktable.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the GitHub nightly AppImage with the command shown on Ubuntu 24.04.3 and compare the libproxy, gvfs, canberra, and atk-bridge messages, including the warning triggered by pressing L. Done means determining which messages are actionable and resolving the relevant launch or runtime failure without treating expected warnings as bugs.
