gnome-settings-daemon starts if I set permissions on /etc/libnss- ldap.conf to 644. It was, and should be, 600 becuase it contains credentials. The lookups is done through nscd. But nscd randomly quits, see bug #57214 and remote bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=344563 .
This also breaks gnome-screensaver(can't unlock) and kate(file protocol dies => can't open files) and probably other things as well. -- gnome-settings-daemon crashes at login https://launchpad.net/bugs/61381 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
