Description of problem: I installed FC6 and updated to the latest release. Logged in and saw bunch of error messages on my desktop (screenshot attached). I'm not actually sure where to report this bug, sorry if this is not the right component. dmesg shows a segfault: ... gnome-settings-[3741]: segfault at 0000000000000008 rip 00002aaaaaab5302 rsp 00007fff6dfb9440 error 4 .... Note this is the first time I have logged in as a regular user. To update I used the root account through ssh. after closing the gnome session (logout) I saw on my remote console: Message from syslogd@slintel-b at Fri Nov 10 16:07:05 2006 ... slintel-b kernel: invalid opcode: 0000 [1] SMP Message from syslogd@slintel-b at Fri Nov 10 16:07:05 2006 ... slintel-b kernel: Oops: 0000 [2] SMP Message from syslogd@slintel-b at Fri Nov 10 16:07:05 2006 ... slintel-b kernel: CR2: 0000000000000040 Message from syslogd@slintel-b at Fri Nov 10 16:07:05 2006 ... slintel-b kernel: Oops: 0000 [3] SMP Message from syslogd@slintel-b at Fri Nov 10 16:07:05 2006 ... slintel-b kernel: CR2: ffff880074993550 Message from syslogd@slintel-b at Fri Nov 10 16:07:05 2006 ... slintel-b kernel: Oops: 0000 [4] SMP Message from syslogd@slintel-b at Fri Nov 10 16:07:06 2006 ... slintel-b kernel: CR2: ffff880074993550 I also took a screenshot of the display on the machine with some kernel messages, but I don't have my card reader at work, I'll add the attachment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-2.16.0-9.fc6 How reproducible: always

Created attachment 141283 [details] kernel crash screenshot taken with my mobile phone hmm, the kernel error seems unrelated to this crash anyway, adding the screenshot if you want to look at it
For the kernel crash, we can't help, you'd need to file a new bug about it. As for the gnome-settings-daemon crash, could you gather a backtrace of the crash? Try launching it by hand, after having run "ulimit -c unlimited" and install all the -debuginfo packages necessary before running the core through gdb. Thanks.
Yeah, the kernel is totaly unrelated (as I already mentioned in comment #2) I'm installing a fresh FC6 at the moment and updating. I'll try if this is still an issue as it's been a while since.
I tried to reproduce this bug with fully updated FC6 and had no luck. I guess that the problem has already been fixed. JFTR, I was using x86_64 version of FC6, control-center-2.16.3-11.fc6 Feel free to close this bug.
Good stuff, closing then.
