I started a (lonely) thread at ubuntuforums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=290822 that details my problem. One apparently unusual feature of my problem is that I see no errors anywhere and am unable to post a backtrace. I've had this happen on 5 successive rebuilds over the last few weeks, one with Dapper (all on the same machine). I've started to watch carefully and the last time I installed I got the behaviour after bringing the OS up-to-date and installing nvidia drivers and java - nothing else. It *always* happens after a shutdown as opposed to a restart. I've just installed a CLI version of Edgy and manually installed X, nvidia drivers, and other bare-essentials, but I'd like to have a *full* install.
This thread seems to be all over the place in terms of symptoms. Is there anyone with a sense of how or if they are tied together? Is there something I could post (or do) that would be of help? -- gnome-settings-daemon crashes at login https://launchpad.net/bugs/61381 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
