I doubt anyone will be able to fix this without a stack trace. >From what I can see, the current ddeb dbgsym packages have the gnome- settings-deamon binary in them which for some reason they didn't when I tried back with Lucid which made getting a stack trace impossible.
Since they now seem to work, Grab the dbgsym version and give the instructions I gave for logging gnome-settings-daemon a go. I would but it's no longer happening to me. If the other instructions don't work or you want a different way, It might also be possible to rename dbgsym version of the /usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon binary and replace it with script containing something like: screen -L gdb --eval-command='run' gnome-settings-daemon.therealfile Then just 'screen -x' and get a backtrace. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588155 Title: randomly gnome-settings-daemon fails to start -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
