Running the 6.10 release as a live CD I encountered exactly the same problem/error message as is described in the initial posting to this thread. I
* switched to a tty with ctl-alt-f1, * ran sudo vi /etc/hosts, * commented out the ::1 line in the ipv6 section, * ran sudo gnome-session-manager (got "Gtk-Warning ** cannot open display:") * switched back to the graphical terminal with alt-f7 and * restarted X with ctl-alt-backspace. This time the session came up without the gnome-session-manager error message. However, it is still running incredibly slowly (10 minutes and it still hasn't finished putting together the desktop). I'm not connected to a network; wonder if that could be having an effect. -- gnome-settings-daemon crashes at login https://launchpad.net/bugs/61381 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
