--- Begin Message ---Package: gnome-settings-daemon Version: 3.8.5-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Opened Gnome Settings, chose "Background" * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Nothing stopped it from crashing instantly. I changed the background by using Gnome-Tweak-Tool instead * What was the outcome of this action? Gnome-Tweak-Tool worked, but the Settings menu still crashses. * What outcome did you expect instead? For the Settings menu to open up the Background Settings options -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.13-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-settings-daemon depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.18.0-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.8.2-2 ii libc6 2.18-4 ii libcairo2 1.12.16-2 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-2 ii libcanberra0 0.30-2 ii libcolord1 1.0.6-1 ii libcups2 1.7.1-9 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-5 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.30.6-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.38.2-5 ii libgnome-desktop-3-7 3.8.4-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.10.7-1 ii libgudev-1.0-0 204-8 ii libibus-1.0-5 1.5.5-1 ii liblcms2-2 2.5-1 ii libnotify4 0.7.6-2 ii libpackagekit-glib2-16 0.8.16-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.2-2 ii libpulse-mainloop-glib0 4.0-6+b1 ii libpulse0 4.0-6+b1 ii librsvg2-2 2.40.2-1 ii libupower-glib1 0.9.23-2+b1 ii libwacom2 0.8-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-1 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.1-1 ii libxi6 2:1.7.2-1 ii libxkbfile1 1:1.0.8-1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.2-1 ii nautilus-data 3.8.2-2 ii systemd 204-8 Versions of packages gnome-settings-daemon recommends: ii pulseaudio 4.0-6+b1 Versions of packages gnome-settings-daemon suggests: ii gnome-screensaver 3.6.1-1 ii metacity [x-window-manager] 1:2.34.13-1 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+2 ii xfwm4 [x-window-manager] 4.10.1-2 -- no debconf information
