i have encountered this trouble too. However it doesn't occur at each boot.
Dist : Ubuntu 10.04 x64 GPU : nvidia 8600GT with driver of serie 256 (from x-swat-x-updates ppa) GDM : autostartup (without delay) I tried to got the debug output doing the modification of the attached patch, but the trouble doesn't appears doing this (at least for the 5 tries I made since this). Maybe others will success in doing this. My idea is that there is a race condition between dbus and g-s-d that prevent g-s-d to start if dbus isn't totally ready, but I can't prove it, and I don't now how to log the startup of dbus and g-s-d. ** Patch added: "autostart gnome-settings-daemon.desktop" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/53294665/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop.diff -- randomly gnome-settings-daemon fails to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588155 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
