I don't think it's required to provide a backtrace any more. The bug has been merged with #706330 which already has a backtrace. For future bug reports: http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace > It seems to be launched when gdm starts... But you can always launch it from the terminal: $ gdb gnome-settings-daemon (gdb) run The tricky part here is to open a terminal when the desktop session fails to load. You can minimise the “Oh no!” screen with a key binding (don't know which one is the default, I customised mine). Then you can use your system (almost) as usual and open a terminal to run gdb and obtain the backtrace. > (and yes: I am a noob: I never did a backtrace before :-)) Don't worry. Except that it might require a recompilation it's not too hard (see the link above). I appreciate your help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
