Hey guys and gals, Running Intrepid Ibex, on a Dell Inspiron 6400 (It's better than the Macbook I traded to my wife...), with 2gig ram, and Compiz.
I am having the exact same problem as Paul Whipp. Suspend is a hit or miss with this thing and I had to shutdown this morning because it just would not suspend (a different bug). When I turned it back on, everything was ugly as hell. I did not receive any error messages until I went to System->Preferences->Appearance, then I got: "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." error message. So, I did have Amarok installed, and figured that might be the problem and since I didn't like it anyways, I removed it (as well as every KDE lib I could find). This, however, did not solve the problem. The gnome-settings-daemon is in my session startup. Restarting the X Server, restarting Linux, starting gnome-settings- daemon, also does not solve the problem. However, when I start the gnome-settings-manager, everything appears normal, I mean the theme loads and looks purdy, but a couple seconds later, it turns back to ugly. Here is the log output: [00:01:37 demizer]$ gnome-settings-daemon --debug --no-daemon ** (gnome-settings-daemon:15568): DEBUG: Successfully connected to D-Bus ** (gnome-settings-daemon:15568): DEBUG:
