|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. the problem was raised monday Jul 27 2009 after ubgrading the following packages: [UPGRADE] consolekit 0.3.0-2 -> 0.3.0-3 [UPGRADE] cpp-4.3 4.3.3-13 -> 4.3.3-14 [UPGRADE] dbus 1.2.14-3 -> 1.2.16-2 [UPGRADE] dbus-x11 1.2.14-3 -> 1.2.16-2 [UPGRADE] desmume 0.9.2-1-1 -> 0.9.4-1 [UPGRADE] ed 1.3-4 -> 1.4-1 [UPGRADE] exuberant-ctags 1:5.7-4 -> 1:5.8-1 [UPGRADE] gcc-4.3 4.3.3-13 -> 4.3.3-14 [UPGRADE] gcc-4.3-base 4.3.3-13 -> 4.3.3-14 [UPGRADE] ipcalc 0.41-1 -> 0.41-2 [UPGRADE] libcaca0 0.99.beta16-1 -> 0.99.beta16-2 [UPGRADE] libck-connector0 0.3.0-2 -> 0.3.0-3 [UPGRADE] libdbus-1-3 1.2.14-3 -> 1.2.16-2 [UPGRADE] libpam-ck-connector 0.3.0-2 -> 0.3.0-3 [UPGRADE] libpth20 2.0.7-12 -> 2.0.7-13 [UPGRADE] sudo 1.7.0-1 -> 1.7.2-1 [UPGRADE] tshark 1.0.8-1 -> 1.2.0-1 [UPGRADE] ttf-dejavu 2.29-2 -> 2.29-3 [UPGRADE] ttf-dejavu-core 2.29-2 -> 2.29-3 [UPGRADE] ttf-dejavu-extra 2.29-2 -> 2.29-3 [UPGRADE] wireshark 1.0.8-1 -> 1.2.0-1 [UPGRADE] wireshark-common 1.0.8-1 -> 1.2.0-1 downgrading the following packages from version 1.2.16-2 to 1.2.14-3 solves the problem: dbus dbus-x11 libdbus-1-3 on a sid desktop I have no problem with g-s-d, so maybe the problem is caused by the gnome transition phase. don't esitate to ask for further informations. I don't know if the problem is in g-s-d or in dbus or other; feel free to reassign to the appropiate package. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-settings-daemon depends on: ii gconf2 2.26.2-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libc6 2.9-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.6-2+b1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.80-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libesd-alsa0 [libesd0] 0.2.41-5 Enlightened Sound Daemon (ALSA) - ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-4 generic font configuration library ii libgconf2-4 2.26.2-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.1-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2-11 2.26.1-1 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome2-0 2.26.0-1 The GNOME library - runtime files ii libgnomekbd3 2.26.0-1 GNOME library to manage keyboard c ii libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10 0.10.23-3 GStreamer libraries from the "base ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.23-2 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.16.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnotify1 [libnotify1-gtk2.1 0.4.5-1 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxi6 2:1.1.4-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxklavier12 3.9-1 X Keyboard Extension high-level AP ii libxxf86misc1 1:1.0.1-3 X11 XFree86 miscellaneous extensio gnome-settings-daemon recommends no packages.
