$ 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 Title: the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
