Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

When I want to start MATLAB, I get the following error

Gtk-Message: 19:13:21.535: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

So I installed:

1 aur/lib32-libcanberra-gtk3 0.30-2 (+19 0.00%) (Orphaned) 
    A small and lightweight implementation of the XDG Sound Theme Specification

When I run env I can see that

GTK_MODULES=canberra-gtk-module

So it should be available, shouldn't it?

Re: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

You installed the 32 bit libcanberra package for GTK3. MatLab uses GTK2. I think that's the issue.

Do you have "lib32-libcanberra" installed from "multilib"?

@drcouzelis: Yes, I have lib32-libcanberra installed from multilib. The AUR version also failed, because libcanberra-gtk3 is already inside the filesystem.

Re: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

aur matlab doesn't list canberra as a dependency, there may be something mixed up in your gtk2 / gtk3 environment that causes this.

Output of

pactree -r matlab # pactree comes with pacman-contrib

?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

I did not install MATLAB via AUR, since it is a hassle, so my output is

error: package 'matlab' not found

I just freshly installed Arch, so I don't think something is messed up. I got MATLAB running now, but the message persists, when I run it via terminal. Maybe it is not important

Re: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

It's GTK's library for sound notifications and the like, unless you rely on anything audio in matlab it's safe to ignore.
