So I tried starting gnome-settings-daemon with: /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon
I got a message that randr was not found. So I commented out the randr false in serverflags in xorg.conf (#10 above), and tried to start gnome-settings-daemon again. ~# /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon ** (gnome-settings-daemon:2805): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon ** (gnome-settings-daemon:2805): WARNING **: Could not acquire name From: http://www.listware.net/201006/freebsd-gnome/113809-workspace- switcher-cannot-add-workspaces.html gnome-settings-daemon is not running and will not start. Manually attempting to start results in these errors: failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon could not acquire name This lead me to realize my /etc/hosts did not reference my domain name. I modified it like so: ::1 localhost localhost.toyon.corp 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.toyon.corp gnome-settings-daemon still will not start with these errors: failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon could not acquire name Q1: Why can't gnome-settings-daemon "acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon"? Q2: Why can't gnome-settings-daemon "acquire name"? Thank you, Chris Re: Workspace Switcher: cannot add workspaces by Kevin Obermanon 2010-06-30T18:40:41+00:00. This is the sort of issue I was having on one of my systems before I blew away ~/.gnome2, ~/.local, and ~/.config. (I would think ~/.gnome2 most likely for this one.) Try getting out of Gnome, moving ~/.gnome2 to something like ~/.gnome2.save and start Gnome back up. Once I did that (and I did all three directories as I was hitting a bunch of weirdness), things started to behave normally, although I did have to re-create my custom menus and reset a bunch of stuff. I had probably upgraded gnome from 2.22 through all even version to the present and I know a number of things have changed in the schema over that time. I guess they finally caught up with me. :-( ======= -- opening gnome-keyboard-properties changes screen resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/612098 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
