Hey guys and gals,
Running Intrepid Ibex, on a Dell Inspiron 6400 (It's better than the
Macbook I traded to my wife...), with 2gig ram, and Compiz.
I am having the exact same problem as Paul Whipp. Suspend is a hit or
miss with this thing and I had to shutdown this morning because it just
would not suspend (a different bug). When I turned it back on,
everything was ugly as hell. I did not receive any error messages until
I went to System-Preferences-Appearance, then I got: 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 Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings
manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings
manager. error message. So, I did have Amarok installed, and figured
that might be the problem and since I didn't like it anyways, I removed
it (as well as every KDE lib I could find). This, however, did not solve
the problem. The gnome-settings-daemon is in my session startup.
Restarting the X Server, restarting Linux, starting gnome-settings-
daemon, also does not solve the problem. However, when I start the
gnome-settings-manager, everything appears normal, I mean the theme
loads and looks purdy, but a couple seconds later, it turns back to
ugly.
Here is the log output:
