I've just updated 8.10 today and I now have this problem for the first time. When I restarted the machine it came up in a different theme and reports the error if I go to the appearances option.
Running gnome-settings-daemon from the command line does not return anything (it just returns) but it does not appear to have launched. I'll happily supply logs or other help if you can tell me where to look for them. -- Intrepid: Unable to start the settings manager gnome-settings-daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272093 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
