I'm getting the same error message at the same time as described. Stops at a tan background with bars at top and bottom with no icons on the desktop. This is a clean install from an ISO on CD downloaded and burned today for network install. My Internet connection is through a LAN cable modem. So whatever the problem is, it's persistent it seems.
I'm real green, so I may need a bit of hand holding to give any additional information that would be helpful to track down this problem. However, I'm a quick study and this isn't a mission critical box I'm working on. -- 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
