I just started getting this one, too. Yesterday and the day before, for the first time ever, this occurred. After I'm automatically logged in, I see an error dialog with:
There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: 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 will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. After I rebooted, I'm OK. I'm running a Dell Latitude d820 with NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M. From the Restricted Drivers application, the "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)" is in use. I running Gutsy Gibbon with all packages up-to-date. I've attached every /var/log file modified during the latest boot when this occurred. ** Attachment added: "All /var/log files modified during boot when this occurred." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12827721/gnome_settings_daemon_bug.tgz -- [gutsy] Gnome settings daemon randomly does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146946 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
