Not sure what else I can do to help, or what else is needed to move bug from incomplete status. Hoping this is a good start. FWIW Xvnc under Hardy is abysmally slow and klunky compared to Gutsy. I have no idea why the performance is so awful here. I can see the individual GTK widgets being

2008-02-20 Thread Billy Charlton
Sorry, that was a red herring. I figured out how to disable the gnome- settings-daemon plugins by moving the *plugin files from /usr/lib/gnome- settings-daemon-2.0, but removing those plugins had no effect on the login procedure. Still just greeted with a blank screen, *or* sometimes a lone

Found it. Please mark this bug invalid. The problem lies in the Xming win32 X server, which for some reason can connect to Gutsy via XDMCP, but not to Hardy. When I use XDMCP from a real Linux box, I can log in normally. Not sure why it doesn't work with Hardy but I can't worry about it. --

Some info, which I think points to the problem. I used XDMCP to start a Failsafe Terminal session. (Both libgconf and gnome-keyring-daemon still start up even with failsafe terminal, which I didn't realize used any gnome services. Strange). From the xterm window in the lower right, I type

I've also tried renaming the gnome-keyring-daemon, and now on a login attempt I get the orange background and absolutely no processes in the terminal from this user according to 'ps'. So it's pretty safe to assume that gnome-keyring-daemon is not the culprit. Still no clue what the culprit is,

Strange. I've done a few tests and here's some additional info. I tried a few other paths to see if the problem lay somewhere other than XDMCP but the problem does seem related to XDMCP logins only. 1) I've updated to the latest hardy packages as of 12-Feb-2008. 2) Local logins still work

2008-02-03 Thread Billy Charlton
You're correct; I don't know that the bug is in gnome-keyring for certain. What I do know is that the gnome login process hangs at gnome- keyring-daemon. Is there a way I can test a gnome login without the keyring daemon, to eliminate that as the culprit? I'm happy to provide any other info you

I can finally report some good news. Now every time I try (using the latest CD), I get the attached error dialog. The dialog is blank and doesn't have any GUI buttons, but if I close it from the title bar, ubiquity takes me back to the manual partition screen *and* my hard disk isn't hosed.
