I've attached the result of gdb gnome-settings-daemon 2>&1 | tee gdb- gsd-debug.txt
Looks like my original suspicion about the gstreamer update being the root of this evil may be close to the truth :) Let me know what you want me to do next to pin this down. I do need to get my machine fit again (I make my living using it) but I'm keen to help squash this bug because the forum posts and chatter on #ubuntu following the updates indicate that I'm by no means the only person afflicted with it. ** Attachment added: "gdb-gsd-debug.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25513829/gdb-gsd-debug.txt -- Unable to start the settings manager gnome-settings-daemon after updating Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/358426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
