Follow up... Turned off Software Sound Mixing seemed to work at first. (No longer hung for several minutes starting Gnome, no more error message) Other strange things started happening though.. Clicking the shutdown button on the panel caused it to freeze. Had to kill gnome panel.
Eventually I kill -9'd NetworkManagerDispatcher. Haven't had any problems since. Even after a reboot. Seems to be network related, as others have stated the problem went away while not near a wireless access point. -- gnome-settings-daemon crashes at login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/61381 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
