Package: gnome-settings-daemon<br>Version: 2.24.1-3<br>Severity: important<br><br>When starting the GNOME desktop environment, the desktop takes several seconds to fire up and I'm getting an error dialog box stating that the GNOME settings daemon can't connect to session bus. Furthermore, some preferences aren't remembered (e.g. sound settings, screensaver settings).<br>
<br>The GNOME settings daemon seems to run properly:<br> 2562 ? Rs 38:40 gnome-settings-daemon<br><br>Each time I logout/login, a new gnome-settings-daemon process is forked, also eating as much CPU as it can.<br>
<br>Invoking gnome-settings-daemon from the command line gives:<br>** (gnome-settings-daemon:4429): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to session bus: 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.<br>
