Given all the mouse configuration references in the stacktrace, and having read somewhere about someone having a similar problem being caused by a bug with their touchpad, I tried commenting out the Synaptics touchpad entries in xorg.conf.
Lo and behold, the gnome-settings-daemon problem goes away. Unexpectly, the touchpad still works. Maybe there is some sort of fallback driver for the touchpad that does not cause the crash. -- Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148291 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
