Lord Kenneth Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Apparently a few things are screwed up in regards to themes or settings, but it's very minor. The biggest thing is that on start up it tells me gnome-settings-daemon had an error-- I need to hold enter because it keeps on repeating that at each stage of initializing gnome, or whatever. Any other cookers get this too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I haven't gotten this error, but I know the location of the gnome-settings-daemon changed between Gnome 2.4 and 2.6. It's not in /usr/lib (on Mandrake) and /usr/libexec (most other distros) That might have something to do with your error, but I'm not sure. See if echo $EXECDIR gives you anything, you might have to change the path for it in /etc/profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kenneth Posted May 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 It started working until just recently. When I try to run gnome-settings-daemon, it crashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I don't have this sort of issue here. under enlightenment i have it in my .xinitrc file and everything works fine. [william@poseidon william]$ cat .xinitrc xmodmap ~/.xmodmap export LC=C export LC_ALL=C exec gnome-settings-daemon & #exec startkde #exec gnome-session #exec xmms & exec enlightenment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[william@poseidon william]$ cat .xinitrc xmodmap ~/.xmodmap export LC=C export LC_ALL=C exec gnome-settings-daemon & #exec startkde #exec gnome-session #exec xmms & exec enlightenment Are you sure? I had to change my .xinitrc file (for both computers) and change the gnome-settings-daemon to the full path (/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon & ) in order for it to start correctly.

william Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 For sure, I use gtk theme switcher to change the look of gtk (1 and 2) applications on the fly, so I had to include settings-daemon in .xinitrc file to get it working, otherwise it wouldn't.

Lord Kenneth Posted May 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 The problem was actually gstreamer related. Right now, I'm just having problems with the text turning into some asian stuff in the middle of typing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJ Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 (edited) With gnome-settings-daemon in gnome 2.6 is actually not in a defautl PATH, it's /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon Edited May 28, 2004 by HJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 gtk-theme-switcher doesnt require gnome-settings-daemon Yeah, you should be correct, GTK theme switcher is just an app to change themes. But Flux and E seems to require gnome-settings-daemon, otherwise gtk apps will not be affected by the changes you have made to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Im running Flux, but i have to restart programs to see the changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
