[SOLVED]Journal entry "tumbler-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin..." ?

Greetings!

I observe that the systemd journal is cluttered with entries like this:

org.freedesktop.thumbnails.Thumbnailer1[2658]:tumblerd:4002): tumbler-WARNING **: 
Failed to load plugin "tumbler-odf-thumbnailer.so": libgsf-1.so.114: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How one can stop these messages to be generated? (If this is somehow related to a file manager - I use Thunar. )

Install libgsf. It's used by Tumbler to provide thumbnails for certain office application files (odf) in Thunar and xfdesktop (and possibly other non-Xfce applications).

When you see errors like this:

*.so.*: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Chances are it just means the requested library isn't installed or found on the system. If you're confused what library it is, you can always use "pkgfile", install it first, but then you can run this:

tim@muramasa [10:57:33] [~] 
-> % pkgfile libgsf-1.so.114
extra/libgsf

Then you can go ahead and install the correct package and hopefully fix the issue, hope this helps and you learned a little more about linux . Cheers!
