Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-
The symptoms of this bug are exactly like https:/
My system is an HP Pavilion 9000 series entertainment notebook. I have a completely up-to-date system.
It started for me after I upgraded to Jaunty. My desktop preferences don't work. I have tried everything I found on the Internet including the ones mentioned above. Please find a screenshot attached.
This is definitely a problem with the gnome-settings-
I first tried deleting the ~/.gconf/
I tried running e2fsck for my root partition (I do not have a separate partition for /home). It is clean and no errors are detected.
Amazingly, I found the above mentioned bug file and I am facing exactly the symptoms that have been mentioned by the users, but fixing the broken file system worked for them, I don't have a broken file system in the first place. And, this problem is for all users in the system not just me.
Most applications don't work including media players, etc. Also, keyboard shortcuts don't work for the most part. I am just happy Firefox and Synaptic are working. Please suggest a solution.
Check screenshot for the output of gnome-settings- daemon command in terminal.
