Thanks for the answer. I had no warning or errors related to disk or gconf in the logs (syslog, messages, dmesg). My desktop works fine for the rest, no weird behavior.
I've tried a fresh install with settings cleared (/ and /home formatted), and it works for the moment (even if gnome-keyring-daemon keeps trying to eat all my memory and CPU and has to be killed, but that's another story ;) But the Firefox bug came back... I tried ext3 as filesystem only to be sure, that didn't change anything. But that too is another story. Maybe it's a more general problem related to some package on which firefox and evolution depend... Indeed I have no further valuable information to give, I'm sorry. If I catch anything else, I'll let you know here. -- Evolution losts the accounts settings across reboot https://launchpad.net/bugs/60443 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
