Gnome Settings Daemon failure, revisited

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello

I already reported this problem earlier
(http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-November/msg04365.html).

The affected platform is Fedora Core 3 i686  2.6.9-1.681_FC3
and Gnome 2.8.0.

Since then I backed up my personal files, deleted my account and created
my account, again. I have restored some files and everything worked OK for
10 days.  Today, after rebooting FC3 and login to my account I got the
familiar window with message

There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work
correctly.

The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.

The last error message was:

Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.

I googled but the found prescriptions suggesting removing ~.gn* and ~.gc*
directories did not do any good.

One hint which may help to resolve this problem is in the file
xses-michal.S1GOvo found in /tmp directory. Here is its content.

If I login as a different user which is not affected by the Gnome Settings
Daemon failure the corresponding file looks as follows

/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp

I appreciate any comments/suggetions.
