there is no crash in that gdb log, do you get a .crash or apport triggering when you get the issue? could you add your .xsession-errors to the bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733253 Title: gnome-settings-daemon freezes, desktop theming disappears -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 733253] Re: gnome-settings-daemon freezes, desktop theming disappears
Hello Sebastien, it indeed doesn't crash in the sense that Apport is triggered. g-s-d seems to get somehow into a completely unresponsive state, meaning you can't terminate it with anything but kill -9 . It seems to consume no CPU time, so g-s-d is obviously not running in a loop. I did some further testing with g-s-d when it was properly running that showed interesting behaviour. If I sended a SIGTERM (normal kill) to g-s-d, the custom desktop theming disappeared instantly, like one would expect when g-s-d has been terminated. But looking at the running processes showed that the same g-s-d process was still there, allthough now in an unresponsive state (like it happens if I just start a desktop session on my virtual machine)! Doing kill -9 helps of course to terminate it completely. I tested this both on my virtual machine when I had restarted g-s-d manually and also on my Maverick desktop running on real hardware (where never any problem with g-s-d has occured). As a conclusion, could it be possible that the following happens: While the desktop session is loading, g-s-d receives (for an unknown reason) a SIGTERM and remains in an unresponsive state untill one kills it with kill -9 (and manually restarts it). Is there any way I can help with debugging such an issue? Anyway, here is my .xsession-errors file (beware, it inflates to 73MB!).

Happens to me as well with natty in virtualbox, running unity (3d). Disabling 3d accelration and using gnome classic doesn't affect the bug.
