Bug Description

This message appears:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

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

The last error message was:

Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it a bug? Or a bad setting?
I upgraded to 7.10 and this started happening.

Jef.

Thank you for your report, Jef.

Could you please provide us more details about this problem?

1) Is your disk full? If in doubt, run this command at the terminal:

df -h

2) Can you try to open a terminal and run "gnome-settings-daemon" and paste here the full output?

3) Could you send us your ~/.xsession-errors file? It would be better if you could delete it, then try to use GNOME again, then send us the content of that file (somehow).

In any case, I believe this is a duplicate bug of #146946

Yves,

I have reverted to 7.04 Feisty and no longer suffer the problem.
Thank you for our response, but I cannot give you the responses you
require without upgrading to 7.10 and I do not wish to go through that
again at this time. I apologise that I did not close the report - I am
learning, slowly.

Jef.
