Sorry, that was a red herring. I figured out how to disable the gnome- settings-daemon plugins by moving the *plugin files from /usr/lib/gnome- settings-daemon-2.0, but removing those plugins had no effect on the login procedure. Still just greeted with a blank screen, *or* sometimes a lone blank dialog window with no text or widgets, (but is clearly the usual dialog saying that gnome-settings-daemon unexpectedly quit or couldn't start.)
Not sure what else to try here, but the problem on Hardy persists. -- Gnome login hangs every time using XDMCP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188132 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
