The system-config-printer part which is most probably used here is /usr/share/system-config-printer/scp-dbus-service.py. Usually it is started with the rights of the client user via D-Bus (D-Bus session service AFAIK). Try running
/usr/share/system-config-printer/scp-dbus-service.py --debug in a terminal window and after that the GNOME settings app and watch the output in the terminal. ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Assignee: Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202198 Title: gnome-settings daemon notifies as error an info message To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1202198/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
