Bug#556276: Gnome Nautilus and Panel error when attempting to register with bonobo on gnome startup

[Manish Mohania]

Thank you, for addressing my problem.

Here is what I did as per your suggestion.

When I run the following command from terminal (CTRL + ALT + F1) :

ps aux | grep bonobo

I do not see any process with name bonobo-ativation-server.

Also, when I do :

killall bonobo-activation-server

It gives the following output :

bonobo-activation-server: no process killed

I do not understand what bonobo-activation-server is, but I have read
the man page. I think it is some important application :(

There as no errors in ~/.xsession-errors but two warnings. I am
providing the contents of ~/.xsession-errors:

------- File: ~/.xsession-errors ---------

/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
SESSION_MANAGER=local/debian:/tmp/.ICE-unix/2902

** (gnome-settings-daemon:2960): WARNING **: Failed to open file
'/etc/gnome/config/General.ad': No such file or directory
Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file
/home/manish/.metacity/sessions/default0.ms: Failed to open file
'/home/manish/.metacity/sessions/default0.ms': No such file or
directory

--------- End File:  ~/.xsession-errors -------------

As far as I believe my gnome is running since, I can see the
background and I am able to run application from terminal (CTRL + ALT
+ F1) as :

iceweasel --display=:0.0
gedit --display=:0.0

This problem is very unpredictable, today I was able to login two
times in my gnome with these steps.

1. First I rebooted in single user mode.
2. After login as root, I run the "init 5" command.
3. Then, I login as normal user "manish" from graphical display.

But when I rebooted in single user mode again, I was not able to login
using above mentioned steps :(

Also,
1) sometimes when I boot my system, I get the following error:

RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 8388608
crc error
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0)

2) sometimes I get this error:

Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)
Decompressing Linux .... ok
crc error

Do you think I should file a seperate bug report for this error. ??

Thank you for your patience and time to read this bug report.

Regards
