Public bug reported: I upgraded to Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope yesterday. Haven't had a ton of time to use it but I did come across a bug. I can't use various programs. I first noticed it when I went to open Biniax-2. It is like I hit "Ctrl+Alt+Backspace" to restart the xserver. but it does it by itself. first thought it could be the fglrx driver. I saw that the new XOrg could cause problems so I switched to the ati opensource driver. No dice. This also happens with Wine. When I open WineCFG it too causes the system to crash and return to the login screen. Something that may be connected is I am having trouble with the gnome-settings-daemon. When I go to System >Preferences > Appearance and a message saying:
Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager. I peered into my logs. I put the sections from 5 minutes before crash to 5 minutes after. Best I could anyway. Figured if you need more info from a particular you could ask. I am using Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 64bit Kernel-2.6.28-3-generic. gnome-settings-daemon 2.25.2ubuntu3 not sure what other packages could effect this but if there is just ask. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- programs cause gdm to crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311116 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
