Hrm. It's almost like it's not really the same issue (particularly not the same *cause*).
Can you check that upowerd is actually running? : $ ps faux | grep upowerd maxw 4799 0.0 0.0 21296 932 pts/1 S+ 10:38 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto upowerd root 2515 0.0 0.1 354340 3928 ? Ssl 08:52 0:01 /usr/lib/upower/upowerd If it is running ok then I'd assume it's not the same cause and perhaps we should go back to square one. What exactly is happening and what is common with this bug? You mention 'the error' so I presume it is the 'failed to apply configuration' error mentioned in the first comment - is it exactly the same, ie it's concerning the settings daemon? If so, then perhaps see if that is actually running : $ ps faux | grep settings maxw 2888 0.0 0.8 862212 16576 ? Ssl 08:52 0:01 \_ /usr/lib/unity-settings-daemon/unity-settings-daemon maxw 3062 0.0 0.4 576748 9960 ? Sl 08:52 0:00 | \_ /usr/lib/unity-settings-daemon/unity-fallback-mount-helper maxw 4828 0.0 0.0 21296 972 pts/1 S+ 10:41 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto settings In the above, I presume it is process 2888. If that is not running on your system, perhaps you should try running it and see what it complains about. Note it is in /usr/lib, so the ldd tests we did on /usr/bin and /bin wouldn't have caught that - perhaps try running ldd on it specifically (that's if running it directly doesn't already tell you what it fails to link to). Interestingly, I notice that my trouble was with a binary called 'gnome- settings-daemon', but on my current system (I no longer have access to the one I was using when filing this issue) I don't have that binary at all....when I attempt to run it, bash suggests I install it. I would ignore gnome-settings-daemon and try to see what unity-settings-daemon is having a problem with, if anything - same technique though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577760 Title: Screen Display 'Apply' fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upower/+bug/1577760/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
