no.
you need to do more than just restart Pd, because Pd won't automagically
try to load libraries for you just because you added the path to those libs.
so what are you doing to use the libraries?

some of these libraries are just paths with a number of objects. for
these, it is enough to add te library-path to your search-paths, and you
can happily start using the lib's objects.
other libraries need to be loaded explicitely, e.g. because they are
large and complex beasts that cannot be used alone.

if you try to load the former, you might get an error, because there is
nothing to "load".
if you try to load the latter, you might get no error.

it means, that the deken-plugin has already been loaded from some other
place. the plugin loader will load GUI-plugins only once (based on their
entry-point; so after the first plugin named "deken-plugin" has been
loaded, no other "deken-plugin" will be loaded).

if you scroll up a bit, you might get information on where the first
deken-plugin has been loaded from.



oh, and since you are using ubuntu: why don't you install the libraries
via the package manager (apt, synaptics,...)?
deken is just a poor-mans replacment for apt :-)
