error starting spyder on Ubuntu 15.0

Question

Currently on update version of Ubuntu 15.10 and updated most recent version of Anaconda2

$ python -V
Python 2.7.11 :: Anaconda 2.5.0 (64-bit)

I get this in terminal but spyder opens up and seems fine.

GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.

It's telling me my GLIB version is too old. Well, I am too old but I dont see why it has to be glib about it (groan). Anyway, is there a recommended solution besides ignoring these warnings?

Answer 1

Found here that this error can be related to anaconda installing PyQt5 alongside native PyQt4.
