Package: gconf2
Version: 2.6.3-2
Severity: important
After most recent apt-get upgrade, every time I log in I get 'The gnome
settings daemon failed to start', with something about it having
restarted too many times, and not having returned an error. All of my
settings of course are lost.
I tried creating a new user and logging in as this user to rule out a
problem with corrupt files in .gconf, same issue.
This is all that appears in the logs:
Aug 17 16:44:24 krustophenia gconfd (rlrevell3-958): starting (version 2.6.3), pid 958 user 'rlrevell3'
Aug 17 16:44:24 krustophenia gconfd (rlrevell3-958): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only config source at position 0
Aug 17 16:44:24 krustophenia gconfd (rlrevell3-958): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/home/rlrevell3/.gconf" to a writable config source at position 1
Aug 17 16:44:24 krustophenia gconfd (rlrevell3-958): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only config source at position 2
gconfd does in fact appear to be running:
root@mindpipe:/home/rlrevell# ps auxww | grep gco
rlrevell 1152 1.4 1.2 7200 5940 ? S 16:46 0:06 /usr/lib/gconf2/gconfd-2 5
So the error is possibly not in gconfd but a bug in the way some
other part of gnome talks to it?

OK, closing.

TV is the worst of both worlds. It's not as good at words as radio is
because the pictures are a distraction which demand attention, and it's not
as good as cinema because the pictures are not nearly as good.
