Bug confirmed. #3: the bug happens for me at every boot, with no usb device attached. I have to restart lightdm 2-3 times before obtaining a working desktop.
Often, some 30-60 after login, the mouse freezes and only restarting lightdm brings the desktop back in ordinary state. Attached .xsession-errors for a broken session. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890905 Title: "'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error" and missing icons Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The theme does not load correctly: the menu bar at the top is a light gray, some icons for launchers on the left are missing and the overall appearance of gtk applications looks like a Windows 95 theme. I can post a screenshot if that helps. The problem exists on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 11.10 (64-bit). I'm not completely sure the unity package is to blame for this; apologies if I should have specified a different package. I am willing to do any extra debugging required to fix this. $ apt-cache policy unity unity: Installed: 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1 Candidate: 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1 Version table: *** 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1 0 500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 4.22.0-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages The following is from ~/.xsession-errors (I have attached the complete file): [...] Adding plugins Skipping upgrade com.canonical.unity.unity.01.upgrade Skipping upgrade com.canonical.unity.unity.02.upgrade Initializing core options...done (gnome-settings-daemon:5115): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
