------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-01-21 17:55 ------- This bug report is too broad to be useful. Reporter, could you give us a REPRODUCIBLE test case for ONE SPECIFIC problem otherwise this bug will be invalidated.. And don't use "gnome2" as bugzilla product, it is a metapackage (and it should be removed soon from the available product. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] description: Frequently (about 95% of the time), whenever I log into my Gnome2 desktop, I get a "Settings daemon started too many times" message, and also significant components of the desktop itself (applets, various other embedded objects--including the Nautilus sidebars, and the GTK HTML composer window for Evolution) simply do not function. The desktop functions, but has lost a great deal of its usability. My applets generate a dialog complaining about an unknown exception id (sorry, I don't have details in front of me right now--I'll add them when I get back home), and asking if I want to delete it from the session. Based on observed behavior, I am suspecting that glibc is somehow at fault (I've seen other applications, notably gst-register, complain about structure mismatches); however, this is purely guesswork, as I do not yet know how to trace errors like this through a debugger (a skill I fully intend to obtain). I am, as of now, running the latest Cooker release (pulled from the Cooker archive, not the beta1 or beta2 ISO images), on a Pentium 233 MMX with 256MB. I attempted to fix this by restoring a standard 9.0 build, replacing everything but my /home partitions, and then reinstalling the latest updated packages from Cooker (as of approx. a week ago). This did not fix the problem, which leads me to believe that there is an error in a package somewhere. One reason I suspect that glibc may be the culprit is that my system was working perfectly before (approx.) December 26, 2002--the same day that glibc was originally installed (glibc-2.3.1-6mdk); of course, this is not proof, but it is a coincidence. I also attempted to rebuild glibc from the source package, and the build failed with an Illegal Instruction error while in build-i686-...
