Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

While running Nvidia-331-updates, I can't reboot normally have to either stop gdm or switch to the first console and reboot from there, then I get this error. I don't seem to have this problem otherwise.

[Sanjeev Gupta (ghane)]

Upon gdm startup, after logging in.

Running 13.10, I started getting this bug after updating to the 3.13.7 kernel from 3.11.0. On my system it is affecting gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45.2.

If I can send anything that'd help resolve this, I'd be happy to.

[Padraig Fahy (fahy)]

Same as above.

Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS Beta 2. After first boot, the message appears.

[Th. Sievers (th-sievers)]

today installed beta 2

now chrash report appears after dist-upgrade and reboot

[Christopher (soft-kristal)]

I only and always get this when I log out and back in. There is similar graphic 'garbage' on boot, but logging out and in takes pretty much the same time as rebooting.

[Mitch Dunaway (midway40)]

Only got this bug twice so far at bootup. The first time I do not remember anything special but the second time was right after I had installed "Ubuntu base" with the Software Updater.

This is currently the #3 bug on https://errors.ubuntu.com/?release=Ubuntu%2014.04&period=month. There is a mistake in debian/patches/90_set_gmenus_xsettings.patch which I think is causing it.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-settings-daemon - 3.8.6.1-0ubuntu11
