[Bug 805894] Re: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with signal 5 in xkl_process_error()

 

Interesting, beforehand I didn't had any problems with external HDD but
since some recent update now it happens that whatever external USB Data
device I connect (USB Stick, Amazon Kindle, Mobile Phone,...) nautilus
crashes without apport generating any error report at all. And
afterwards I can't open nautilus at all, even after removing the USB
device. Need to reboot the client.

Title:
  gnome-settings-daemon crashed with signal 5 in xkl_process_error()

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Here's a note I included in a similar bug (797947) that may help to
  diagnose as this might be a timing issue:

  I'd like to add that I can never get gnome-settings-daemon to start
  and stay running for more than 5 seconds, UNLESS i take the following
  actions, in which case it applies the themes properly and responds to
  theme changes and generally works just fine:

  1. start 'strace gnome-settings-daemon' in a window
  2. wait until the terminal appears to hang in the middle of the output
  3. switch to a virtual console (ALT+F1) and login
  4. pkill -9 strace
  5. switch back to X - everything is fine!

  This works about 95% of the time.

  This is a laptop that always gets this error on boot up and only has
  one screen, no docking station, so its not anything related to screen
  size I should think.
