    Ubuntu 8.0.4 error message

    When I logon to the system after reaching the desktop (compiz-fusion) I receive the following error message:

    There was an error starting the gnome settings daemon

    Gnome will try to restart the settings daemon next time you login.

    This does not happen every login and when it does rebooting does not bring up the message.

    What can I do to eliminate this error message.

    I am also having an issue with this exact same thing... What computer setup are you running it on, and did you install straight 8.0.4 or did you upgrade from an earlier version??

    This is a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.0.4 running compiz-fusion 0.7.4 as desktop manager.
    I have a dell xps 600 pentium d dual core 3.0 ghz nvidia 7900gs video card 1 gb of ram
    2 harddrives 250 gb and 80 gb Ubuntu installed on 80gb harddrive
    This is a triple boot system Ubuntu,Pioneer Basic and Windows xp.

    This was not a problem with Ubuntu 7.10 on the same setup. I completely reformat the partition before installing 8.0.4.

    Thanks for the reply

    Re: Ubuntu 8.0.4 error message

    I encountered the same error this week with a clean install of 8.04.

    An incorrect DNS server ip address turned out to be the problem. Once I corrected the network settings, the GNOME error went away.

    Re: Ubuntu 8.0.4 error message

    I get the same error at the start of all live CD sessions.
    This is on an older SUSE 9.2 machine, insert the CD, the first thing that appears is the GNOME settings daemon error message, and nothing else really seems to work after that. I managed to open the Firefox Ubuntu Help page, but then the mouse froze and I had to hold the off btn to get out.

    It would sure be nice to fix this and get a look at the OS...

    Thanks for any help!
