GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 780145
Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Sharing.desktop
Last modified: 2017-03-16 13:26:43 UTC
Hi, Using Ubuntu 17.04, GDM, GNOME 3.23.92 RC. CPU Skylake, Nvidia proprietary or nouveau. I often and randomly see this error in logs : Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Sharing.desktop followed by : CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry.... in gnome-sesssin-bin component. It causes an immediate disconnection, back to GDM login screen if I use Nvidia. If I use Nouveau, sometimes it causes the same behaviour, sometimes changes the Gnome graphical session in TTY +=1. It's easy to know if the session will fail : if I see Nautilus icons on my desktop (turned on in tweak-tool), it will be fully ok. If not, it will disconnect shortly after, 1 or 2 minutes, say. If I use lightdm instead of gdm, the same bug happens.

And : 1) in a buggy session, I cannot disconnect via Gnome system menu (before the crash) ; 2) I mainly use Intel GPU (optimus) but the bug happens using Nvidia (propr. or nouveau) GPU.
