I get the following:

Boot in recovery mode (Root mode) and run 'apt-get -f install' then reboot.

[Thomas Novin (thomasn80)]

Jike, this didn't do it for me.

I still got the errors mentioned above. I did this to be able to install the package:

sudo init 1
<chose root prompt>
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
dpkg -i --force-overwrite gnome-settings-daemon_2.21.90.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
apt-get upgrade

Then I was all set.

failure on update package gnome-settings-deamon via update manager.

[Lillipuziano (lillipuziano)]

Confirmed. It didn't break the packages cache. I think that synaptyc automatically configured it using dpkg.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-settings-daemon - 2.21.90.1-0ubuntu3

Im running amd64 version

I have downloaded gnome-settings-daemon 2.21.90.1-0ubuntu3 few hours ago (apt-get upgrade), but the problem is still there - after gdm start - gnome-settings-manager wouldn`t start, all applications are without the main frame (so you can`t move, minimalize or close them by clicking on icon).. sometimes applets are crashing (keyboard, trash, power-manager, etc.)..
I don`t if this is the right bug, but it all starts after unsuccessful update of gnome-settings-manager..

[tomato (jdvorak2)]

sorry about my last note - now it is working just fine (but I don`t know why) - I`ve restarted gdm and whole system many times, nothing happened. But after the last gdm restart it is working just fine.
