@Paul Coenraats You might be able to be of more help than you think. Please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs carefully. That should give you a sense of how bug reporting in Ubuntu works and what kind of information is important to provide in bug reports. Then please post here, and describe in detail what happened on your system to make you think you may be experiencing this bug. (Are you saying that you booted a live CD and this bug occurred when you were trying to shut down your computer from the live CD? If the answer is yes, please specify what live CD you booted from, and please still provide as detailed a description as possible of the steps you took leading up to the problem, and of the problem itself. You can explicitly compare with and contrast against my description above, if you wish.) This way, we can figure out whether or not you have enough information to merit marking this bug as confirmed.
You might have a dual-boot system with both Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 11.10 installed on separate partitions (with the option to choose between them when you boot up your system), but that is not a problem, and gnome-settings-daemon doesn't have anything to do with dual- (or, more generally, multiple-) booting. Your dual-boot configuration could potentially cause latent bugs in grub2 / grub-pc to be triggered (which would be a *good* thing, as it would be an opportunity to report those bugs so they could be fixed), but unless you are actually sharing configuration data between the two systems (which you would have to set up yourself), it's very unlikely that your dual boot configuration would trigger this bug or other bugs in gnome-settings-daemon. However, since you have a dual-boot system, it is important that when providing the information requested above, you clarify whether the events you think may constitute this bug occurred on your Ubuntu 11.04 Natty system or on your Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric system. The above post has assumed that you are posting here because you have experienced something that is similar to something described on this page. However, if there was no particular reason why you posted here rather than elsewhere, and you have not experienced any of the problems detailed in this bug's description, then (1) you should make sure the green link at the top of this page doesn't start with "This bug affects you" (if it does, click it and select the option indicating that you are not affected by this bug), (2) feel free to unsubscribe from the bug if it doesn't interest you, or to otherwise edit your subscription or bug mail options (I subscribed you so you would be notified of this post any any other posts or status changes), and (3) feel free to post a question at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you require assistance with an unrelated matter in Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/795392 Title: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in __run_exit_handlers() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/795392/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
