From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: After installilng FC2 (upgrade from FC1 or fresh install) and loggin on in Gnome, I get the following errors: --------------------------------------- "There was an error starting the GNOME Setting Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The Settings Daemon restarted too many times. GNOME will try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log on." --------------------------------------- "The Panel encountered a problem while loading: "OAFIID: GNOME_WorkspaceSwitcherApplet". Details: Unkown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0' Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?" ---------------------------------------- I have several applets that fail, they all have the same error, excepting the name of the applet. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Restart X/log in (always) -OR- 1. Add another applet onto the panel (most applets) Actual Results: The errors above. Expected Results: Error-free loading of the applets Additional info: I have posted a screenshot at http://thesewer.net/error.jpg if you want to see what the desktop/panel looks like after all the errors.
It seems to have fixed itself. I booted into Win2k, played some games for a bit, then went back into FC2 and it is working fine. The only thing I can think of is that this was the first boot with the 2.6.6-1.435 instead of the 2.6.5-1.385 that came with FC2...
More details: I don't think the kernel was at fault for this. For a while now I've had some sort of bug that keeps changing my hostname from localhost. Most recently it was x1-6-00-09-5b-05-35-68 and when I started up X it did the same errors. I went back and hostname localhost and everything works fine.
It seems that I get these errors whenever my hostname is something OTHER than localhost.localdomain and I log in as non-root. Why is this?
bonobo-activation-server used to hang around on logout and had problems with the hostname changing. Not sure what the status of the bug is, but I seem to recall that its since been fixed.
I just experienced the same bug, after an update of bonobo. By doing hostname localhost things work again. How can I fix this permanently? My computer has its own hostname. And how can I get the redhat network alert icon back on the panel? Unfortunately I told gnome to delete the various applets, and now I can't get this one back.
Now everything is miraculously working fine again. It seems that after updating bonobo, one should first log in to gnome as root, not as an ordinary user. Afterwards it is safe for ordinary users too...
