The ubuntu forums thread mentionned by Artemis3 on comment 15 contains a fix given by Joshua Swink that seems to work for most of the people (it does for me):
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3776732&postcount=15 ******************* This seems to be related to this gnome-session bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395488 Here is a workaround. Two files are modified. Change /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc, adding two lines (identified below by comments): Code: # ADD FOLLOWING LINE rm -f /tmp/session-is-gnome BASESTARTUP=`basename "$STARTUP" | cut -d\ -f1` if [ "$BASESTARTUP" = gnome-session -o \ \( "$BASESTARTUP" = x-session-manager -a \ "`readlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager`" = \ /usr/bin/gnome-session \) ]; then GNOMERC=$HOME/.gnomerc if [ -r "$GNOMERC" ]; then . "$GNOMERC" fi # ADD FOLLOWING LINE touch /tmp/session-is-gnome fi Then change /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start completely, to the following text: Code: if [ -f /tmp/session-is-gnome ]; then exec /usr/bin/dbus-launch $STARTUP else exec $STARTUP fi -- [gutsy] Gnome settings daemon randomly does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146946 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
