Gtk-Message: 21:23:41.751: Not loading module

 Error message: he message you're seeing:

Gtk-Message: 21:23:41.751: Not loading module "atk-bridge": The functionality is provided by GTK natively. Please try to not load it.

FIX:- 

indicates that the atk-bridge module is no longer necessary for your version of GTK, as the functionality it provides is now built into GTK itself. This is more of an informational or warning message rather than an error, and your application should still run fine without any issues.

However, if you'd like to suppress this message or resolve it for a cleaner output, here are some approaches:

1. Ensure Dependencies Are Up-to-Date

Make sure you have the latest versions of GTK and its related packages:

 sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

You can also specifically update GTK and ATK packages (on Ubuntu/Debian):

sudo apt install --reinstall libgtk-3-0 at-spi2-core libatk-adaptor
 

2. Unset GTK Modules Environment Variable (Suppress Message)

The message might be triggered because the GTK_MODULES environment variable includes atk-bridge. You can suppress this by unsetting the variable.

Run the following command in your terminal before launching your application:

unset GTK_MODULES
 

To make this change permanent, you can add the command to your .bashrc or .bash_profile:

echo "unset GTK_MODULES" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
 

3. Check for Old Configurations

Some applications or configurations may explicitly load unnecessary modules. Look for any GTK or atk-bridge settings that might be outdated in the following locations:

• ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
• /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

You may not find this file, but if you do, ensure there’s no manual loading of atk-bridge.

4. Install Accessibility Bridge (Optional)

If you still want to install the atk-bridge module (even though it's not necessary), you can do so with:

sudo apt install at-spi2-core
 

5. Suppress the Warning in Output (Advanced)

If you're running a script or an application that logs GTK messages and you want to suppress this specific message, you can redirect the output using grep or sed.

Example:

your-application 2>&1 | grep -v "Not loading module 'atk-bridge'"
 

These steps should help either resolve or suppress the atk-bridge message depending on your preference. If the message is just cosmetic and not affecting functionality, you can safely ignore it.
