[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 649809] Re: the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits

2012-07-11 Thread launchpadmember 
None of the proposed solutions so far works for my setup at all.

Specs:
Distribution: Ubuntu 11.04 64Bit (Actual machine, NOT a virtual machine)
Codename: Natty Narwhal
Desktop: Gnome 2
CPU: Intel Quad Core 2 Extreme, X9650, 64Bit, (3GHz per core)
GPU: GeForce 8800 GT
GPU MEM: 512 MB
GPU MEM Interface: 256 MB
GPU VBIOS: 62.92.24.00.00
MoBo: Asus
MoBo MEM: 4GB

Right clicking on the desktop and selecting Change Desktop Background results 
in the following error message:
Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take 
effect. This could indicate a problem with DBus, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) 
settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings 
manager.

Any attempt at starting the gnome-settings-daemon such as:
sudo gnome-settings-daemon
results in the following error messages:
** (gnome-settings-daemon:6805): WARNING **: Failed to acquire 
org.gnome.SettingsDaemon

** (gnome-settings-daemon:6805): WARNING **: Could not acquire name

Here is the output from apt-cache policy gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-settings-daemon:
  Installed: 2.32.1-0ubuntu13.1
  Candidate: 2.32.1-0ubuntu13.1
  Version table:
 *** 2.32.1-0ubuntu13.1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Any attempt at killing and restarting the gnome-settings-daemon produces no 
significant change.
I will list one debug output with elevated privileges, and one without.

Here is the debug output after killing and restarting the 
gnome-settings-manager with elevated privileges:

Oops, I forgot that long outputs were not allowed. I'll attatch the debug 
outputs as log files.
Attached to this post is the output of:
sudo gnome-settings-daemon --debug --no-daemon

Lots of debug info, then it just hangs and does nothing else on the last
line.

** Attachment added: The output from sudo gnome-settings-daemon --debug 
--no-daemon

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 649809] Re: the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits

2012-07-11 Thread launchpadmember 
Attached to this post is the non-elevated privilege output:
gnome-settings-daemon --debug --no-daemon

This debug output basically said:
The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 193 error_code 2 request_code 154 minor_code 30)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Which I can't really understand. So...

My Questions are:
1.) Can the status of this bug for Natty be changed to confirmed or something 
that more accurately reflects the problems I've shown with these posts?
2.) Is there anything I can uninstall, purge, or swap out with something else 
to help confirm which packages are effected?
3.) Has this bug become a permanent unsolvable problem in terms of getting 
themes to work in Natty again?

I will attempt a reinstall of various Ubuntu releases to see if I can
get this problem to go away. I'm out of idea's other than reinstalling.

Ok, so apparently attaching files to posts is broken as well.  Here are some 
pastebin links for the debug output files:
