Allright, I have this very same problem on three different machines. Lots of people have it. It's not a showstopper, but it's a scary thing to have in a stable release for this many months. Let's raise the priority, let's look into this. Looks like a synchronization problem to me. Did anyone have this on a single core machine?

I'had the same problem (I think) 2 time for 5 Gnome doesn't start properly. It's totaly random. We talk about this problem in a thread at the francophone ubuntu forum. http://forum.ubuntu- fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=172109 The message : Il y a eu une erreur lors du démarrage du démon des préférences GNOME. Certaines fonctionnalités, comme les thèmes, les sons ou les fonds d'écran peuvent ne pas fonctionner correctement. Le dernier message d'erreur était : 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 essaiera de redémarrer le démon des préférences la prochaine fois que vous vous connecterez. Impossible d'utiliser Nautilus maintenant à cause d'une erreur inattendue. Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the factory. Killing bonobo-activation-server and restarting Nautilus may help fix the problem.

[Bug 84876] Re: Gnome settings manager error to start desktop
I was having this same problem as well on a friends computer I was setting up with ubuntu Feisty on x86_64. This had happened over to installs and usually after I had just installed a pile of software so I did not know what was causing the problem however I was getting the Original qoute that started this message. I started reading this and then it occured to me, yes I had to have loop back installed, but what I had forgotten when setting up his firewall was to allow all traffic on lo to be accepted (on draconian rules.) If you are getting the original qouted error that started this message and you cannot ping localhost then you may have a firewall issue or loopback device just may not be setup. If it is a firewall issue (and this command is harmless even if it isn't) try typing = sudo iptables -I INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT = (and yes case sensitivity is important) and it may fix your problem. if it does not fix your problem the command will still not hurt your system in any way. If it does fix your problem you will need to find a way to make that command permenant. I don't know if Ubuntu has any rules for firewall specifications but I typically use = iptables-save /etc/iptables.conf = and then have it loaded at boot each time by adding the following line to /etc/rc.local, just before exit 0 = /sbin/iptables-restore /etc/iptables.conf = I hope this at least helps some people with the problem.

[Bug 84876] Re: Gnome settings manager error to start desktop
I seem to be having a similar problem on an updated install of Feisty, except that my GNOME is never slow to load---it loads with about the same speed as in Edgy. Here is what happens. If I login normally after booting, all is fine. But say I boot up the computer and leave gdm running for a while. If I do so, there is like a 20% chance that I when I do login, I will get this error (there was an error starting the gnome settings daemon). GNOME comes up at a lower screen resolution, and the Ubuntu theme is gone (it uses the default GNOME theme). Killing X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and re-loggin in fixes the problem. I have also had this same error message come up when I've booted the live CD. But only the first time! All the other times the live CD has booted fine. It seems strange that this problem should be non-reproducible with a live CD. -- Gnome settings manager error to start desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84876 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I'm having the same problem on a fresh install of Feisty.When I tried sudo ifup lo (like Shum), it reported that interface lo already configured. Pinging my localhost did not return any errors either. I have attached the requested information. Ignore the Microcode errors in dmesg, as I have been encountering them since Dapper and haven't had a chance to fix them (they don't seem to affect anything). In addition, when I try running gnome-settings-daemon, it returns this text: The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program.
