Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Today I installed:

  1. Ubuntu 12.04
  2. Oracle JDK 7 and 8
  3. IntelliJ 11.1.4

I setup my JAVA_HOME path to point to JDK 7.

When I run IntelliJ I get this message:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Is this a problem or can I over look this?


Solution 1:

I fixed this by installing the module:

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module

Or if it's already installed and you still get the error:

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module:i386

Solution 2:

This question is 4 years and 8 months old. It is now July 2017.

On a Raspberry Pi 3B running Raspbian Jessie and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS I was getting this error.

Failed to load module “canberra-gtk-module”

It is fairly generic.

The good news is that the fix is easy. Simply enter:

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module

installed some stuff...

Then it never showed up again.
