It's the same here. After first installing Ubuntu 8.04 Alpha6 and doing a complete upgrade and installing codecs etc I restarted and a message appeared that said could not start the gnome settings daemon.
I tried from a terminal and it returned this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gnome-settings-daemon Resource Timestamp: 37470 Resource Configuration Timestamp: 37470 CRTC 49 Timestamp: 37470 CRTC 4a Timestamp: 37470 Output 4b Timestamp: 37470 Segmentation fault (core dumped) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ -- error starting GNOME Settings Daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199960 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
