I'had the same problem (I think) 2 time for 5 Gnome doesn't start properly. It's totaly random. We talk about this problem in a thread at the francophone ubuntu forum. http://forum.ubuntu- fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=172109
The message : "Il y a eu une erreur lors du démarrage du démon des préférences GNOME. Certaines fonctionnalités, comme les thèmes, les sons ou les fonds d'écran peuvent ne pas fonctionner correctement. Le dernier message d'erreur était : Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. GNOME essaiera de redémarrer le démon des préférences la prochaine fois que vous vous connecterez. Impossible d'utiliser Nautilus maintenant à cause d'une erreur inattendue. Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the factory. Killing bonobo-activation-server and restarting Nautilus may help fix the problem." This problem is here since about nearly 2 month. -- Gnome settings manager error to start desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84876 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
