[Bug 649809] Re: the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits
I have the exact same situation as Domenik described. When logging in with a newly created user, however, everything work's fine -- only one gnome-settings-daemon process is started, and the theme applies fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 Title: the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 649809] Re: the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits
I think I found the reason for the bug, however I don't have a satisfactory solution. It seems that when removing / renaming the file '.Xmodmap' (which is located in the user's home directory) so that gnome doesn't find it anymore when logging in, gnome-settings-daemon gets started correctly. Found this out my successively removing dot-files in my home directory until it worked (very frustrating). However, now I don't have .Xmodmap anymore :-( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 Title: the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 700309] [NEW] $HOME/.Xmodmap is applied twice
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm It seems that $HOME/.Xmodmap is applied twice in Ubuntu 10.10. This might cause problems for some users - in my case, for example, I use Xmodmap to swap the Escape and CapsLock key - so when applied twice, nothing is essentially swapped. FYI, here's my .Xmodmap: ! Swap caps lock and escape remove Lock = Caps_Lock keysym Escape = Caps_Lock keysym Caps_Lock = Escape add Lock = Caps_Lock I verified this by commenting out the line in /etc/gdm/Xsession which applies my .Xmodmap. After that, everything works as expected. It seems that some other component applies .Xmodmap, too - I guess it's some part of Gnome, as sometimes when logging in I get asked which .Xmodmap I want to load. ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700309 Title: $HOME/.Xmodmap is applied twice -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
