Hi, I’m new to this board and not entirely certain about whether I am in the right place.
I just reinstalled GDM on top of X11 on Archlinux. A few other important components of my desktop were also re-installed (see below). The up-to-date Archlinux system runs on kernel “6.0.1-arch2-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 13 Oct 2022 18:58:49 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux”.
- local/gdm 42.0+r11+g4a52f026-1 (gnome) re-install
- extra/gnome-shell 1:42.5-1 re-install
- extra/gnome-shell-extensions 42.3-1 re-install
- extra/libgdm 42.0+r11+g4a52f026-1 re-install
Since then the host’s journalctl -b -o short-precise output is filled with multiple sections identical to the one reproduced below:

This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

The questions I have are: apart from being unseemly, is it important ? Can it be fixed, and if so how ?
