Not sure why work on this bug has stopped??? I've discovered that if I kill the process gnome-settings, then I can recover the computer to a usable state. Some of the ubuntu-specific appearance tweaks are gone (back to the standard gnome panel for instance), but everything works. If I use the system for a while without touching the volume knob, then eventually I trigger gnome- settings to restart somehow and everything goes back to normal with the default ubuntu appearance.
Maybe this bug report should be moved to the package gnome-settings. And I'm not sure how to find out if gnome-settings has been updated from what was on the original 9.04 distribution CD. Thanks for the help. This bug is the only reason that I haven't yet upgraded to 9.04. Otherwise this is a fabulous version of Ubuntu. -- notify-osd runs at 100% of CPU locking up X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367069 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
