A couple weeks back, I upgraded to 9.10. Shortly afterwards, I started having trouble with logging in, rarely sending me to my desktop after one try. I tried changing my setting to bypass logging in. It rarely works. For whatever the reason, it sometimes helps when I reset the setting on the bottom of the login page (language, keyboard, etc.) to what they already are.
Then, there have been several times, after I do reach the desktop, I get the following error box:
An error occurred while loading or saving configuration info for evolution-alarm-notify. Some of your configuration setting may not work properly.Inside the box read:
Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for info. (Details: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-[this varies each time]. Connection refused. This message is repeated inside the box as many times as I attempted to login due to the looping.
It happened again this morning. The following is from the user.log from this morning's multiple tries:
