[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 649809] Re: the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits
None of the proposed solutions so far works for my setup at all. Specs: Distribution: Ubuntu 11.04 64Bit (Actual machine, NOT a virtual machine) Codename: Natty Narwhal Desktop: Gnome 2 CPU: Intel Quad Core 2 Extreme, X9650, 64Bit, (3GHz per core) GPU: GeForce 8800 GT GPU MEM: 512 MB GPU MEM Interface: 256 MB GPU VBIOS: 62.92.24.00.00 MoBo: Asus MoBo MEM: 4GB Right clicking on the desktop and selecting Change Desktop Background results in 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.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 649809] Re: the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits
Attached to this post is the non-elevated privilege output: gnome-settings-daemon --debug --no-daemon This debug output basically said: The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'. (Details: serial 193 error_code 2 request_code 154 minor_code 30) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Which I can't really understand. So... My Questions are: 1.) Can the status of this bug for Natty be changed to confirmed or something that more accurately reflects the problems I've shown with these posts? 2.) Is there anything I can uninstall, purge, or swap out with something else to help confirm which packages are effected? 3.) Has this bug become a permanent unsolvable problem in terms of getting themes to work in Natty again? I will attempt a reinstall of various Ubuntu releases to see if I can get this problem to go away. I'm out of idea's other than reinstalling. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 Title: the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/649809/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 649809] Re: the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits
I ran into this issue while running Natty on VMware. More specifically: I log in to Ubuntu Classic mode. The theme is Ambiance as expected, but all of the icons are the unity theme icons instead of Ubuntu-Mono. Nautilus also has the Ubuntu One icon embedded. About 20 seconds later, the theme reverts to the ugly theme. Restarting gnome-settings-daemon and nautilus fixes the to the proper Classic mode theme. I've tried the workaround in #68 and it still resulted in: ** (gnome-settings-daemon:1941): WARNING **: You can only run one xsettings manager at a time; exiting regardless of the time i set, until i set it too far and gnome-settings-daemon.desktop timed out instead. I had set the virtual machine as a single CPU single core machine. Once I changed the machine to dual core, I logged into Ubuntu Classic with the expected theme and icons without the theme reverting.

As a workaround if you use .Xmodmap then I've found that renaming it and loading it in startup applications instead works well. mv .Xmodmap .Xmodmap_workaround Open Startup Applications then click Add In the command box enter xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap_workaround Click Add then log out and in to see the effect.

Ok, can I ask you to run this on a virtual terminal, before login in and while gdm is sitting there waiting for you to login $ ps aux | grep settings this will give the process ID for the gdm's gnome-settings-daemon, so: $ sudo strace -p $pid_of_gdm_gsd -o /tmp/strace.txt then try logging in with your normal user and wait until the gdm's g-s-d process is gone, and then please attach the /tmp/strace.txt to this bug -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 Title: the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I'm on natty too, with the latest updates and the problem still exists. It happens even when I choose 'Ubuntu Classic' or 'Ubuntu (Safe Mode)' on login (see screenshot in attachment).

The gnome session loaded from startup works well but if I change session (logout and login) after a few seconds gnome settings are no more available.
