I'm having the exact same problem described as above. Bug encountered: When logging into ubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10, seemingly randomly.
Computer: HP mini 110, ubuntu netbook remix with default ubuntu desktop session. 1gb ram, intel graphics, compiz enabled. Theme installed: Elementary theme with the Faenza icon set. Workaround: Open terminal, start the gnome-settings-daemon process (which doesn't show up under the system processes after logging in), restart nautilus. I'd really like to see this bug fixed, it randomly occurs to me and doesn't happen more than once a week, so it's probably going to be extremely hard to remedy. -- 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
