I have the same problem. It takes 5 minutes to login. During login I see a white box in the top left corner, after awhile it displays the error message:
"There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in." When I manually start gnome-settings-daemon I get: Rrdb: "*Label.background" on line 243 overrides entry on line 170 xrdb: "*Text.background" on line 249 overrides entry on line 211 xrdb: "*Label.foreground" on line 255 overrides entry on line 171 xrdb: "*Text.foreground" on line 261 overrides entry on line 212 The problem started after updating to Edgy. I am on a IBM X41. I would like to assist with more information if someone could guide me. -- gnome-settings-daemon crashes at login https://launchpad.net/bugs/61381 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
