Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.
If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart. Now open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit. If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding. ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993530 Title: gnome-settings-daemon segfault on networking stop Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Simply invoking `/etc/init.d/networking stop` crashes the desktop environment, making it fall back to some ugly and lightweight mode. Also the shutdown menu doesn't show anymore (in Unity). NOTE: i uninstalled network-manager but other people confirmed this issue with an intact ubuntu install. Happens while using Unity or gnome classic, no difference.
