I can confirm that. I just installed a fresh edgy knot-3. When logging in for the first time, everything is good. When I log out and log in again, I get this message:
"There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: Process /usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon exited with status 1 GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in." See screenshot. I can reproduce it always... whenever I log in for the second time without rebooting, I have no settings daemon. Please tell me how to further debug this (don't really know what to attach strace to). ** Attachment added: "GNOME Settings Daemon not starting" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4307187/Screenshot-gnome-session.png -- [Edgy] gnome-settings-daemon acting up https://launchpad.net/bugs/59217 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
