I recently upgraded to Mathematica 10.2.0.0 for Linux (32-bit). In the past I have used the ErrorBarLogPlots package to put error bars on logarithmic plots of lists. When I make a simple ErrorListLogLogPlot, everything seems reasonable:

ErrorListLogLogPlot[Table[{{kk, 2*kk}, ErrorBar[kk]}, {kk, 1, 5}], PlotRange -> {{0.5, 6}, {0.5, 20}}, Axes -> False, Frame -> True]

produces:

When PlotMarkers are added,

ErrorListLogLogPlot[Table[{{kk, 2*kk}, ErrorBar[kk]}, {kk, 1, 5}], PlotRange -> {{0.5, 6}, {0.5, 20}}, Axes -> False, Frame -> True, PlotMarkers -> Automatic]

the error bars disappear:

enter image description here

When Joined is True, the error bars return,

ErrorListLogLogPlot[Table[{{kk, 2*kk}, ErrorBar[kk]}, {kk, 1, 5}], PlotRange -> {{0.5, 6}, {0.5, 20}}, Axes -> False, Frame -> True, PlotMarkers -> Automatic, Joined -> True]

What am I doing wrong?

    $\begingroup$ It seems to be the same problem that in PlotMarkers problem in ErrorListPlot, Mathematica 10 but this has been fixed in 10.1 as it belongs to the standard packages, contrary to the ErrorBarLogPlots package ... Look at the comments in that post, there seem to be a workaround using Method -> {"OptimizePlotMarkers" -> False} which "has to go before the PlotMarkers option for this to work" according to the user evanb. Maybe it will work in your case. $\endgroup$

Addition of Method -> {"OptimizePlotMarkers" -> False} solves the problem:

Needs["ErrorBarLogPlots`"]

ErrorListLogLogPlot[Table[{{kk + i/3, 2 kk}, ErrorBar[kk]}, {i, 1, 3}, {kk, 1, 5}], 
 PlotRange -> {{1, 10}, {1, 20}}, Axes -> False, Frame -> True, PlotMarkers -> Automatic, 
 Method -> {"OptimizePlotMarkers" -> False}]
