Here's a surefire way to reproduce this bug every time: 1. Install Edgy. 2. Install TightVNCServer 3. Start a VNC server session and connect to your Edgy box from another machine using a VNC client. (I've been using realVNC's client)
You'll see the error upon connecting with VNC. The UI will also have that weird generic Gnome'ish look. (generic icons/widgets) I've got 3 Edgy boxes - 2 at home and 1 at work - and they ALL have this exact problem. (they were fresh installs, not upgrades) If I don't connect to them via VNC, then everything is fine. It's only when I use them as headless workstations and connect via VNC that the issue arises. I know that this might differ from how others are seeing the bug, but for me this one has been as consistant as the sun rising. -- gnome-settings-daemon crashes at login https://launchpad.net/bugs/61381 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
