As of 2012 Wed, July 11, This bug is still happening in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty 64Bit
My themes are broken, and nothing appears to work in order to get the gnome-settings-daemon working properly again. If I attempt to fix the incorrect desktop theme by right clicking on the desktop and selecting "Change Desktop Background" I get the following error message: Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with DBus, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager. Here is the command issued from the CLI: sudo gnome-settings-daemon Here is its output: ** (gnome-settings-daemon:6805): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon ** (gnome-settings-daemon:6805): WARNING **: Could not acquire name I've tried many suggested workarounds but nothing is fixing this problem. Do Mint or Archlinux suffer from this problem? I need a distro that works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-desktop in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384439 Title: GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed Status in The GStreamer Multimedia Framework: Unknown Status in “gnome-desktop” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon Every time gnome-settings-daemon starts it leaves a critical error message in .xsession-errors file: (gnome-settings-daemon:5303): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Jun 7 05:14:20 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Alpha amd64 (20090606) Package: gnome-settings-daemon 2.27.1-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.30-8.9-generic SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon Uname: Linux 2.6.30-8-generic x86_64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gstreamer/+bug/384439/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
