Ubuntu :: Gnome-settings-daemon Does Not Work As Expected?
Oct 28, 2010
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a brand new HP EliteBook 8540w with an Nvidia card. To get the machine to work at all I have to use the proprietary nvidia driver. The downside is that when I use this driver gnome-settings-daemon seems to crash when I start the machine which results in a ugly theme. To fix this I have to run the following command:
Code:
sudo gnome-settings-daemon
After this the theme is re-applied. If I try to run gnome-settings-daemon as my regular user I get the following messages:
Code:
** (gnome-settings-daemon:2187): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon
** (gnome-settings-daemon:2187): WARNING **: Could not acquire name
[Code]...

about every second time when I start up my Ubuntu 10.4, my hard drive starts to work heavily. While it's doing so I see in the system monitor that the gnome-settings-daemon has the status 'uninterruptible'. After about 3 minutes the hard drive calms down and the status of gnome-settings-daemon switches to 'sleeping'. so from that I guess the heavy working of the hard drive is somehow related to that process. Sometimes gnome-settings-daemon seems to crash completely so that my theme is gone.
So is there a solution to that? because it's annoying that it slows down the system for about 3 minutes after start up. On the net I've found some old threads from 2004 and 2006 which describe crashing of gnome-settings-daemon. But there didn't seem to be a solution.

I'm having trouble with gnome-settings-daemon in gnome 3. I can start it with sudo and get my pretty theme, but under my normal user it segfaults.

Setting up CentOS 5.5 on my laptop. After installing the synaptics driver, I am able to get a functioning X session without any problems (I'm using startx for testing). There are however two problems: 0/ mouse cursor is slow as snails and 1/ GNOME is fouled up.
- I've tried enabling SHMConfig in my xorg.conf file, and have also tried the HAL thing here. Either way synclient tells me to jump in a lack. I should be able to set suitable adjustments in xorg.conf, but running synclient -l to see what it's currently using would be much faster than hours of trial end error. As Google totally fails to provide anything helpful and I see nothing handy in documentation beyond the 1-line edit to xorg.conf I've already done, how in the universe do I actually enable SHMConfig to synclient's satisfaction? EDIT: scrolling doesn't work either, so access to synclient is even more important; on the upside I have manually tuned the mouse speed by T&E.
- GNOME was installed through the "GNOME Desktop Environment" and "GNOME Software Development" groups (yum groupinstall GNOME*) after net' installing CentOS. It has been startx'd through gnome-session. On startup I get a string of Windows: one is a dialog saying that there was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon with a last error message of "Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session". The other two are dialog windows gripe about mail notification. Several icons are missing but gnome otherwise works fine, as long as I do nothing that requires SETTINGS. Searching the web and documentation hasn't helped here either, so how the flub do I fix that?
I expect to be using blackbox or something lighter most of the time, but as GNOME is the default.... it better be working!

The gnome-settings daemon was updated today on my Fedora 11 machine and it's now performing all kinds of interesting activities. It's using my CPU a ton. And it's generating lots of network traffic. This appears to be a massive bug of some sort. Anyone know any more details? I haven't found anything yet.
If you haven't updated it, DON'T!
2.26.1-10 appears to be the culprit.

After I login my desktop preferences are not loaded. If I try to change them (Control cneter-> apparence) I get a message that says: Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with DBus, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager.The first lines of .xsession-errors show:
/etc/X11/xim: Checking whether an input method should be started.
HOSTNAME: Undefined variable.
XDG_DATA_DIRS: Undefined variable.

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 and I am experiencing an ultra high memory usage of the gnome-settings-daemon of 2GB after suspend! Killing and restarting the daemon solves the issue. Anybody else with this behavior?

Getting this error seemingly randomly at login:
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:
Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
I thought I might be logging in to fast, but it happened again when I had waited several minutes.

Well, this is a problem that keeps on coming, and I never found a solution: Maybe it is just me misunderstanding how it should work, but:
1) do you confirm that, as a member of the group "fuse", I should be able to read the file?
2) of course, I could change the permission of the file, or read it as sudo, but sometimes this is not possible. how to achieve it then?

I have some files on server with the date several months ago, but invisible for `find -mtime 7` search. When I list them as `ls -l` they look perfectly normal:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 347253 Jun 12 16:26 pedia_main.2010-06-12-04-25-02.sql.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 490144578 Nov 24 16:26 gsmforum_main.2010-11-24-04-25-02.sql.gz
"find -mtime" does not work as expected on files with different timezones?

I'm running an up-to-date installation of Lucid, and have come upon a little problem. It seems that applications are having trouble communicating with gnome-keyring-daemon.
When I connect to wireless networks -- even ones that are in the network manager -- it always asks me for a password.
Gwibber is crashing because it can't connect to the gnome keyring daemon.
And when I open the Passwords and Encryption Keys utility (on the Accessories menu), I get the error: "Couldn't communicate with key ring daemon."
I have verified that the daemon is starting up when I log in, that all of the appropriate keyring-related login items (certificate and key storage, secret service, & SSH key agent) are in place, and that the keyring works in other accounts on my machine. I have tried deleting my extant keyrings, but that has produced any success. And when I kill and restart the keyring daemon once I'm already logged in, the problem seems to abate.
I don't know if it matters, but for OS X compatibility purposes, I'm running as a UID under 1000.

Since I've upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 my gnome-keyring-daemon isn't working on login. It is running - ps ax shows:
4927 ? SLl 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize
but it doesn't seem to be accessible. Seahorse says: "Couldn't communicate with key ring daemon", and I never get asked to unlock my keyring on login (thus saved wireless keys are not available, for example). If I kill the gnome-keyring-daemon process and run it again from the command line, everything works. There are not messages in /var/log/messages from the keyring daemon, so i don't know what it is doing wrong.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 configured to login with Kerberos (as in [url]). Everything works fine, except gnome-keyring-daemon:
-If I login with a local user, gnome-keyring-daemon works right. Besides, the keyring is automatically unlocked with the login password.
-If I login with a Kerberos user:
- The session startup is considerably slower.
- /var/log/auth.log says something like:
Code:
- If I execute a program that needs the gnome-keyring (like Evolution), is desperately slow, and it says:
Code:
Message: secret service operation failed: 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.
- If I kill all gnome-keyring-daemon (killall gnome-keyring-daemon), start a new one (gnome-keyring-daemon), and restart the application that uses the gnome-keyring, it works fine, but it ask me for the password to unlock the keyring (I think that this is the normal behaviour if gnome-keyring-daemon did not start before).
I have seen the configurations in /etc/pam.d and everything looks fine (with pam_gnome_keyring.so). Indeed, I think that if something was wrong here, the local user would not have the keyring unlocked automatically.

How to permanently disable the gnome-keyring-daemon.
I've seen posts where there was a work around to store passwords in clear text. That's not a real solution. I've seen posts where killing the process and removing ~/.gnome2/keyrings is a temporary solution until next time you log in or reboot machine. Removing the package, will force removal of the whole kitchen sink. That's too intrusive.
There must be a way to stop this thing from starting up, ever.
I tried commenting out the entries in the /etc/pam.d/* files that refer to "pam_gnome_keyring.so", and have also unchecked the 3 keyring related entries under System --> Preferences --> Startup Applications, which are affiliated with these 3 files:
But I still get this one process once I log into the console window:
There must be one more file somewhere that says, "hey when someone logs in and starts up gdm, start the gnome keyring daemon".

As mentioned in the title something is terribly wrong with my system. After some updates in the last 2 days Plasma keeps on crashing like a jackhammer. Kwin reports bugs and siece to work. That said I have no borders of any window I have opened and no Kickstart menu. (I am using KDE 4.4.1.) On top of it all when I rebooted the system it just hangs when it is supposed to start X and KDM. When I switch to verbose boot I see that Avahi Daemon has a "Failed" sign. I have tried with older kernels, but that did not solve anything. To be honest I am clueless on how to fix Avahi. The easiest way is to reinstall Fedora, but I would have stuck with Windows for that and where is the learning opportunity in that?

Tried with the "basic" hosts file as well, eg with only the localhost lines in it. Both server run centos 5.3, up-to-date.There is no real error anywhere which might explain WHY aisexec daemon won't start. When i start openais manually (/etc/init.d/openais start) it starts without any errors.

Editing the profile in gnome-terminal has absolutely no effect on the appearance. I can change background color, transparency, image, etc. in the profile edit window, save changes,and the _actual_ terminal appearance does not change at all. I did make sure to switch to the edited profile after editing -- to no avail.The default navy-on-light-blue isn't bad, but the light-green default for executables is effectively completely invisible on the light blue background.Is this a bug? Or does someone have a workaround?FWIW, gnome-terminal in 9.10 was completely customizable

I am wondering if my 10.10 Gnome settings, preferences, color schemes, themes and so on will remain after installing 11.04 and selecting Classic as the default? These live in a separate /home partition, which I obviously will not be formatting.

hen it loads up ubuntu, it automatically detects the settings and resets, but my tv says it can't display the video. I have an old CRT monitor I hook it up to to be able to change settings, but it won't let me change the settings in gnome for the TV. I think the settings it will need to have for the video card hooked up RGB and television would be 1336x768, is there a way that I can program that to where it doesn't automatically detect the monitor?

I have a maverick box plugged into two monitors, using the open source radeon driver and randr. Each monitor has a top and bottom gnome panel, with various widgets in each. There is no /etc/xorg.conf. The Problem: If I 1) remove both monitors to plug the box into my HDTV, or 2) connect to the X server remotely from a laptop, the panels all get shoved onto the one display. Do you have any advice on how I might specify different gnome panel 'profiles' for the different uses of this computer?

I've upgraded now from 10.04 to 10.10 to now 11.04, and I believe I have so much cruft in my system that it's become unstable.I thought I could selectively rename certain folders in my root (such as .gnome, .gnome2, etc, while logged of (i.e. from a ctrl-alt-f1 console), but that really didn't seem to work.I'd prefer not to copy to external hard drive and re-install fresh. However, I'm using KDE now for stability, as neither gnome nor unity will run well.

I dont understand why but my theme changes everytime i reboot. The original theme Human changes to i think dust. when i open the appearance applet to change back the theme, the original human theme is already selected.
