In the terminal I get:
device 1099421055: tried /dev/midi1099421055 READONLY; returned -1 device 1099421055: tried /dev/midi1099421055 READONLY; returned -1 device 2051: tried /dev/midi2051 WRITEONLY; returned -1 device 2051: tried /dev/midi2051 WRITEONLY; returned -1 open: /etc/pd/gem.conf: No such file or directory open: /home/hellocatfood/.pd/gem.conf: No such file or directory open: ./gem.conf: No such file or directory
In the pd console there's a lot of messages. I've attached a file with the output, but I did notice this:

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 15.04. One of the many many problems I experienced is that I'm no longer able to load pngs using [pix_image]. The only error I get when I try to do this is:
[pix_image]: failed to load image 'testimage.png'
Any clues as to where the problem is?
Gem uses a plugin system for imageloading (and other platform dependent things, like video acquisition), which means that if your system lacks a needed library, the imageloading plugin will fail to load butthe rest of Gem will still work as expected. the failed plugin will not be able to provide images, so you might end up with reduced functionality.
so the upgrade *might* have removed some libraries (or upgraded them to incompatible versions) required to load png files.
start Pd from the cmdline check for errors printed to the terminal (esp. when Gem is loaded) check for messages on the Pd-console. when you create the first [pix_image] instance, it should¹ print a line like: "Image loading support: magick". what does it tell you?

¹ at least it does so with current Gem (from git); i cannot remember how it was with 0.93
