- -------- Original Message -------- Subject: gnome-settings-daemon error / freezing Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2007 00:04:09 -0400 From: Alexander Bedard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just installed a brand new Debian Lenny AMD64 installation and I have started getting this error too: 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 Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager. However, I did notice that I did not get this error when using the precompiled Debian kernel linux-image-2.6.22-2-amd64. If I recompiled the kernel using stock sources from kernel.org for linux-2.6.22.7.tar.bz2, copied /boot/config-2.6.22-2-amd64 to /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.7/.config, recompiled the kernel with make-kpkg and installed it, once I rebooted to this new kernel (which uses the same options as the precompiled Debian kernel, except that it is compiled with gcc-4.2 instead of gcc-4.1, I started getting the error when logging into gnome. As a test, I went back into /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.7/Makefile, changed the MAKEFLAGS to "MAKEFLAGS += CC=gcc-4.1 -rR --no-print-directory", did a make clean & reran make-kpkg binary --initrd, installed the kernel and rebooted with this kernel compiled with gcc-4.1, I did not get the specified error anymore in Gnome. I was able to reproduce this issue as well with kernel 2.6.23 and 2.6.23.1, when booting into a kernel compiled with gcc-4.2, I will get the error message in Gnome about gnome-settings-daemon, and when I boot into a kernel compiled with gcc-4.1 I do not get this error message. You may write to be directly if you would like more information or ask me anything =) Alex -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBRxgurJDTux2u0aL7AQIWuQP8CEmhybptS9tI5Bu2ysd6HBAPQR05r0nI dVLtvMklRFjxChbP2rjKB5DrY8LahehTlWLq4ZLnaMDDgg8AWbS4tVcoJ6DoA3GU A7CM1QoHZMJqKRh6aLDcGDUG1Xt44jB3EZXlu5j+5ewPSUscAuwuN1Cj8UUnzXHr 4GMDeY8kB9w= =xZBG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
