I saw the "Did not receive a reply" variant of this when testing an 8.04 release candidate under KVM. I checked, and gnome-settings-daemon was in fact running. I attribute this to a race condition caused by kvm, particularly as there was increased load on the system during this installation, and I did not see the problem in other tests under kvm. -- There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
