gnome-setting-daemon crashes just after X starts (7.07 KB, text/plain) 2006-11-08 16:12 UTC, Evgeny Bogodukhov	Details

Description James Cloos 2006-09-18 03:10:34 UTC

Distribution: Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4
Package: GConf
Severity: Normal
Version: GNOME2.15.92 unspecified
Gnome-Distributor: Gentoo
Synopsis: gnome-setting-daemon crashes just after X starts
Bugzilla-Product: GConf
Bugzilla-Component: gconf
Bugzilla-Version: unspecified
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.15.91)
Description:
Description of the crash:

There wasn't a choice for gnome-settings-daemon; gconf seemed the
closest match.

My ~/.xinitrc starts gconfd-2 and gnome-settings-daemon before starting
urxvtd and then icewm.

g-s-d gets a SEGV and bug buddy is running by the time icewm is ready.

I run X from a vc login with startx.

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. startx
2. 
3. 

How often does this happen?

Always.
Additional Information:

gentoo box, bleeding egde gnome and gtk ebuilds.

Moving to right product

Comment 3 Rodrigo Moya 2007-10-02 12:48:44 UTC

There are dbus-related error messages in the trace, so could you try removing gconfd from your .xinitrc file (it's automatically started when needed by client apps) and replace it with:

/usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/gnome-session

Does that change anything?

Of course, we should not crash if dbus is not available though.
