From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I'm running FC3 on my ThinkPad T30. I did a clean install, and I'm not sure if it started right after the install, or later on, but now each time I boot, after logging in, I get this error dialog: > There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. > Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings > may not work correctly. > The Settings Daemon restarted too many times. > The last error message was: > Failed to execute /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon: 27 > (File too large) > GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next > time you log in. Like the error suggests, I do have trouble changing themes and screensaver preferences. Ideas of what might be wrong and what I could do to fix it are appreciated. Here's a screenshot of the error dialog: http://actsofvolition.com/images/screenshots/gnome-settings-daemon-error.png Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up 2. After Gnome starts up, the error dialog appears
Can you run /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon manually?
Update: Since it said that the /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon files was "too large", I checked it out and it turned out to be enormous (like 3Gb). I ran fsck and I had a whole slew of disk problems (I *think* related to fast and lose partitioning I had done). I reinstalled the package and all is well now. Marking: NOTABUG Sorry for the trouble.
