Using Debian testing 3.12-1-amd64 Updated and upgraded this morning was told to run this: gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache It didn't do anything of course and when I rebooted, found the system is severely broken. I assume I have to reinstall, that seems to be suggested on a few ubuntu posts on the web? Thank you. Charlie
