Ok I found out that a plugin needs to be referenced in the /usr/share/OGRE-1.8.X/plugins.cfg file in order to be loaded. However, after defining it in the referenced file, now none of the textures in the SampleBrowser load. Everything is white and the message "An exception has occured: OGRE EXCEPTION(5:ItemIdentityException): Can not find codec for 'png' ima ge format." can be read in the output.
