 Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 6:28 pm Post subject: gnome-settings-daemon failing to start |
 |
|
Hello everyone.
First of all, sorry my bad english.
I just installed gentoo on my pc from stage one and get this message when I login in gdm:
| Code: | There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not
work correctly.
The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. |
Looking at google I found some information and possible causes, but I do not have enough information to isolate the problem.
I am using the latest stable version of gnome, in fact, of everything. Please feel welcome to ask any information.
Please help me.
Now thank you. |

What happens if you run
| Code: | | /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon --debug |
Any useful output? |

Hi Henry78,
Tanks for the reply;
I was testing the unstable version of gnome-settings-daemon, and now I am not able any more to return to stable version because of an error during compilation.
In this unstable version the error is repeated, with a small change in behavior, but the result is the same.
The output of the command suggested by you is:
| Code: | The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadClass, invalid event class'.
(Details: serial 198 error_code 182 request_code 147 minor_code 6)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) |
I had seen this before, and it dont say much to me.
But, now the errors reported in the file .xsession-errors are different.
Here the contents of the file. Xsession-errors
| Code: | This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadClass, invalid event class'.

| I'm not quite sure what version you are using. But did you try a 'emerge -uDNa world' and 'revdev-rebuild' after up/downgrade of gnome-settings-daemon? |

I don't know why but in one of my machines it worked when I deactivate the keyboard plugin for gnome_settings_daemon. You can try. Go to the configuration editor. | Code: | | apps -> gnome_settings_daemon -> plugins -> keyboard |
and uncheck the box that says
It worked in one of my machines though I don't know why. |

Well, probably if you ran
| Code: | | /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon --debug --no-daemon --sync |
as is suggested by the output above:
The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadClass, invalid event class'.
(Details: serial 198 error_code 182 request_code 147 minor_code 6)

backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
You'd get something more revealing.
In my case it revealed, that libxklavier got keyboard layout information that it didn't need. This caused an error.
So downgrading libxkbklavier to version 3.6 helps (because it accepts the settings the daemon is trying to send to it) or deactivating the keyboard plugin, becoause in both cases this little error cannot happen.
This is of course a silly reason for the gnome-settings-daemon to go sulking. But it is also not hard to fix, I guess, so either gnome-settings-daemon or libxklavier will be rewritten accordingly in th enear future.

Hello everyone,
Henry78, sorry by the delay in responding, but your last post led-me to the discovery a number of broken packages whose correction took the whole night until just now.
Now, again, I'm using the latest stable version of everything, and specifically, the gnome-settings-daemon is 2.24.1-r1.
Now the contents of the file. Xsession-errors is:
| Code: | /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...

fiol, I did your suggestion but the problem persists. I agree that any option can be enabled by default. Occurred to me that perhaps some of the xorg.conf option, and the gnome-settings-daemon can not change it and die. I am wrong?
Clad in Sky, Thanks for responding. This message appears only when I was using the unstable version. Now, as you can see, it no longer appears.
EvaSDK the link that you posted seems broken. You could take a look?
Thanks to all. The error still appearing, but now I will not make any experience before exhaust this forum, so I await instructions. |

News!!!
Began operating. I am not sure what actually worked, but my guess is that the suggestion of fiolj has worked.
Thank you all for your help. |

I had a similar problem. As said before, the command:
| Code: | | /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon --debug --no-daemon --sync |
helped me to find the problem. A library (gstffmpeg) needed to be rebuild. After rebuilding it, problem gone. |
