I am using Xubuntu 14.04 (Ubuntu + xubuntu-desktop), The following Message shown many times (such as executing mousepad , zenity etc).
$ mousepad
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
pandya@pandya-desktop:~$ zenity --info
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
Why I am getting this message? How to solve?
After installing xubuntu-desktop, I've removed some packages that are pre-installed in Ubuntu 14.04 (and no longer required) by this command.
These packages removed successfully and all working fine but some residual config are still exist and hence I removed unity-scrollbar from synaptic residual config:
Which removed files like: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/81overlay-scrollbar.
After logout and login I again tried to launch by command as below:
$ mousepad
$ zenity --info
Now Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar" is gone, and problem solved.
$ sudo apt install --reinstall overlay-scrollbar-gtk2
Fixed this for me.
It reinstalls
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/modules/liboverlay-scrollbar.so
which was missing before.
