Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
After installing the Maverick BETA everything is fine until getting
updates for the gnome-settings-daemon. Boot will start normally but the
desktop is nothing more than wide bands of color that match the desktop
colors. It's a bunch of vertical stripes.
After about 15 clean installs and 2 weeks of testing I found that the
problem is caused by this package. I now have a working system by
installing the beta, and version locking the package after the initial
install. After that I can grab all the updates and it works fine.
Updating this one package trashes the system.
I also can't boot to a usable desktop from a daily build of the LiveCD
if it's newer than the beta because it has the exact same problem.
Booting to a LiveCD of the beta and then upgrading ONLY this package
will also break the LiveCD.
I have an eMachines laptop as follows:
Model: M6809
AMD Athlon64 Mobile 3200+ (single core cpu)
1.25 GB memory
ATI Radeon Mobile 9600 video w/64 MB of video memory
No other devices attached.
Currently the system is NOT broken due to version locking the package.
For this reason I have not yet included any logs. Please tell me how
you would like me to proceed.
I would like to get this working and consider it critical since I won't
be able to boot / install a working system from a release CD unless this
is fixed.
Thanks, Charles
