The error dialog appeared after I booted the Live CD, when the ubuntu user logged in. I suppose that's the way the data you're looking for should have been logged to that file. Regarding the other, painful attempts to stop/start gnome-settings-daemon anew, no, I haven't seen a message in these cases.
I imagine that the message is issued by some too impatient ("Timeout likely, 400 MHZ") code wanting to use the daemon and receiving no prompt reply in the case of a slow CD-based startup. So, beyond one missed request if that's true, the only consequence is the "Ugly to see in a demo". You should indeed imagine a party commenting about the slowness of CDs while watching the long-lasting brown, blank screen, saying "ah" when a white rectangle draws in the top left corner, and saying "oh" quite a number of seconds later when the first sign of intelligence they receive is an error message. If raising a time-out can avoid that, it'll be well spent time. -- There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon (timeout?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208365 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
