I have been getting a bit of an odd error when starting QGIS concerning the loading of one of my own plugins
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "G:/OSGEO4~1/apps/qgis/./python\qgis\utils.py", line 219, in startPlugin

ImportError: No module named resources_rc
Now usually this would be because there is a mismatch in the name of the resources module called in the main plugin module (qdriller.py).
However, i have called my resources module 'resources', both in the code and the plugin directory. All my gui elements work and the resources are present (and have been changed and recompiled since first getting the error), and the plugin runs when reactivated using the plugin manager once QGIS is running.
This error occurs regardless of what the import call/resources file are called, i have tried "resources", "resources_rc", "foobar" etc. All cause the error but in all cases the gui and resources still work
This is also the case across 3 different installs of 2.8 and 2.8.1

The answer here worked for me
Basically, open up the .ui file in a text editor and remove the 'include location="resources.qrc"/' line... not sure why
