I think i can provide some additional information: I think this has something to do with NetworkManager/or some Network .. thing, because if you often disconnect and connect your lan cable or wlan, this forces the gnome-settings-daemon to hang. Maybe this is related to the error he describes: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=307741
I also can force it to hang after hibernate on several machines. Hibernate and then resume .. bam gnome-settings-daemon hangs. (But - why ever - not when you use standby (also called "suspend")). Does anyone read this bugreport? Why is it still undecided? -- gnome-settings-daemon does stop working after a random time and hangs, is not able to be killed, only a restart helps. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/666015 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
