[Bug 146946] Re: [gutsy] Gnome settings daemon does randomly not work

2008-02-13 Thread Nick Fishman
After a clean install of Gutsy, I ran into this same problem. I tried the fix that Henriël_Veldtmann suggested, and after about 2 weeks, I haven't seen a problem since. I can't confirm the solution 100%, but anecdotal evidence does suggest that it fixes it. I'm not sure why the dbus-X11 package is

Sebastian, please see my comment on bug #146946. After applying the fix proposed by Henriël Veldtmann (installing dbus-X11), the problem so far hasn't reappeared. Perhaps it is, indeed, a dbus issue? -- [gutsy] gconfd starts with session, but apps say that gconfd can't be contacted and user sett

2008-02-13 Thread Nick Fishman
I've been having the same issue on a clean install of Gutsy, even with the latest updates. Bug #146946 describes my issue perfectly. Henriël Veldtmann suggested a fix that has solved my problems so far: installing the dbus-X11 package. I'm not positive why this solves things, but it does for me.

Sebastien, I'll run a test installation within the next week or so and let you know what happens. Either way, is there any way to push a backport into Gutsy? Maybe require a dependency on one of the standard dbus (or even better, gnome) packages to get this installed? I'm worried that people are

Paul, I had a very similar error message. As suggested by Henriël Veldtmann in bug #146946, installing the dbus-X11 package _in addition to_ the dbus package fixed the error. It seems like there's a missing dependency with one of the Gnome packages (gnome-session, from what I can tell, is the best

Like Jordan, I've also bin bitten by this bug on a dual LTSP server network. We also have NFS home directories, which compounds the slowness. I just applied the updates for nautilus and nautilus-data from gutsy- proposed. I'll see what happens over the next few days. -- [Gutsy] high processor ac

Honestly, I really don't see what the holdup is to get the dbus-x11 package required in backports. I've yet to see anyone for whom installing dbus-x11 has NOT fixed the problem. I've marked several bugs as duplicates of this one - they all say the same thing. How much confirmation do we need, seri

I can confirm that the first problem -still- exists on Edgy, 6.10. Clicking "Become Administrator" asks for a password but does nothing more. Running "sudo gnome-cups-manager" gets the job done, but that doesn't solve the problem. -- Changes needed for sudo model https://launchpad.net/bugs/24887
