I can confirm the problem being reported for VNC. The solution is this: In your ~/.vnc/xstartup file put the following:
#!/bin/sh vncconfig -iconic & eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session` gnome-session & Then chmod 744 xstartup, and your problem should be fixed. Again, this only applies to the VNC issue. -- 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
