[Bug 61381] Re: gnome-settings-daemon crashes at login

[Vincent Jestin]

I found a workaround, learned from my windows experience: I reinstalled
edgy and it works :-/

I know that's not a scientific way to resolve this bug, and I would have
liked to know what happened on the first install. I just used the same
procedure for both!

The only thing I can add: this is not a systematic error...

Sorry, I forgot the errors lines written by the last gnome-settings-
daemon  command:

(gnome-settings-daemon:5108): GSwitchIt-WARNING **: Unable to connect to
dbus: Unable to determine the address of the message bus (try 'man dbus-
launch' and 'man dbus-daemon' for help)

** (gnome-settings-daemon:5108): CRITICAL **:

[Vincent Jestin]

does running gnome-settings-daemon by hand after the startup works
fine?

yes. Following lines are written in the console:
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
]


does running gnome-session from a debug session displays anything useful on 
the command line?

First, I get following line in the console:
SESSION_MANAGER=local/pointerouge:/tmp/.ICE-unix/4816

Then the top-left gray square appears. Nothing new in the console.

Finally, few minutes later, the desktop appears and I get these lines in the 
console:

After this step, I started gnome-settings-daemon, but it failed a bug-
buddy opened a new report (see attachment).

[Bug 61381] Re: gnome-settings-daemon crashes at login

[Vincent Jestin]

I have this bug too. The behaviour is like markba's one. So I don't know
where I can find logs about the error reported in the message box. Can
experienced users guide me to find more informations?

scole evoked dbus: I found the error message (Did not receive a
reply...) in a dbus source code file (dbus-pending-call.c) when I
googled for this bug.

Last thing: when the gnome session finally starts (after few minutes and
showing the message box), I get a fully working desktop but the default
edgy gtk theme has not been loaded. Then if I start the theme app, the
default edgy theme is loaded (I mean, beautifull rounded buttons, menus
highlights, ...)

Help me to help you! ;-)
