Bug 103559 – gnome settings daemon fails to start

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 116195
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew Resch 2005-08-24 01:16:06 UTC]

andrew@fractal ~ $ /usr/X11R6/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon
The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 949 error_code 2 request_code 116 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
[1124871285,000,xklavier.c:XklStartListen/]     The backend does not require
manual layout management - but it is provided by the application



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start a gnome session

[Comment 1 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-09-26 13:56:58 UTC]

what version of control-center do you have installed ?

[Comment 2 Andrew Resch 2005-09-26 15:39:17 UTC]

I have 2.12.0 installed now, but it was the same with 2.10.. Reading through the
forums, it may be a result of using the new evdev driver in Xorg (im using
6.8.99.15-r2)

[Comment 3 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-10-14 19:27:24 UTC]

"but it was the same with 2.10"

Does this mean you still have the original problem?

[Comment 4 Andrew Resch 2005-10-14 19:32:57 UTC]

Yes, it will still refuse to start with the same error message.

[Comment 5 Saleem Abdulrasool (RETIRED) 2006-01-15 23:38:45 UTC]

Would you please compile it with CFLAGS="-O -g" FEATURES="nostrip" and then attach the gdb backtrace of this to this bug?
