Comment on Ubuntu: There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. by whmitty

I used the info from this site to fix this problem once and it recurred after a major update to Ubuntu 8.04.2 in July ‘09. Not only that the the system took a performance hit all around! I had all the settings as shown here but still the problem persisted. In desperation I booted into ‘recovery mode’ and ran “gnome-config” at the command line in desperation. Ubuntu reported it was not installed. I installed it, rebooted and the gnome error message as described in these posts disappeared while the performance came back to normal. Thought I’d post in case anyone else has this issue.
