Details

Description: after reinstalling arch from ground I had a weird bug in gnome (on that moment it was 2.20 from testing). Gnome-settings-daemon failed to start. After a few weeks I didn't pay much attention to it (clicking a few times on bug-buddy window was not a problem). But a few hours ago, after full system upgrade almost all icons in gnome disappeared.
Wallpaper reseted to some green picture and everything looks quite bad.
And now I can't restore icons and panel settings.

don't know where to dig

after running gnome-settings-daemon from console I've got the following output:

Here's the debian bugreport, same issue, same locale:

Comment by Anton (jodaka) - Sunday, 21 October 2007, 10:18 GMT
it's not actually same bug. I don't have russian locale by default.

and It changes nothing if I run something like LANG=C gnome-settings-daemon
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Sunday, 21 October 2007, 12:29 GMT
Do you use evdev?
Comment by Anton (jodaka) - Sunday, 21 October 2007, 19:01 GMT
I guess -- yes.
[root@antonk jodaka]# lsmod | grep evdev
evdev 8192 6
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Sunday, 21 October 2007, 21:40 GMT
Kernel will always load evdev, as it's part of the input device system. It's about the driver you use in your xorg.conf, is it just "mouse", or "evdev"?

I got the same problem, and my solution was reinstalling my gstreamer plugins group.
pacman -R gstreamer0.10-plugins -d
rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gst*
pacman -S gstreamer0.10-plugins

Thats all...I suppose some plugins left from testing rep, and gstreamer didnt want to start. Sorry on my english.
Comment by Davor (anarhija) - Monday, 24 December 2007, 20:55 GMT
I was wrong, its only gstreamer0.10-bad package group, which u can blame for problems. Probably some lib they depends on, i am trying to figure witch one.
Comment by Davor (anarhija) - Monday, 24 December 2007, 21:37 GMT
Somehow nvidia-71xx-utils and gstreamer0.10-bad doesnt work good (at all), so u must install libgl, if u really need those plugins. Sorry on my english once again! :D

Hello,

The last comment is more than 6 months old.
Can you please give a short status :

Is it still valid with new Gnome, Gstreamer, Nvidia or whatever package involved since new version are out ?

Thank you very much !
