Description Gideon P 2011-09-08 00:35:29 CEST 
Description of problem:
Clicking the "make default" button asks for authorization and fails to complete successfully. A popup dialog is displayed with the following message "Could not set the default configuration for monitors"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Each time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open monitor preferences
2. Attempt to set default
3. Fails with an error "Could not set the default configuration for monitors"

FIX:

A workaround is to manually add the two missing directories.
$ sudo mkdir /etc/gnome-settings-daemon
$ sudo mkdir /etc/gnome-settings-daemon/xrandr

Comment 1 Jani Välimaa 2011-09-08 07:05:09 CEST 
Instead of adding those dirs to gnome-control-center I added them to gnome-settings-daemon [1] and pushed it to core/updates_testing. Please test.

[1] gnome-settings-daemon-2.32.1-2.0.mga1

Comment 2 Gideon P 2011-09-08 08:03:57 CEST 
How can I update the this new version? I added the core updates testing repo but it doesn't appear in updates and I can't find a new version by searching for it in add/remove packges
Comment 3 Jani Välimaa 2011-09-08 09:10:40 CEST 
It might take some time until the mirror you're using gets the updated package. The sync interval varies from 20 min to 1 day (it should be max 2 hours).
Comment 4 Gideon P 2011-09-08 16:24:08 CEST 
I still cannot see it. Perhaps I don't know how to update?

Comment 6 Dave Hodgins 2011-09-11 04:23:28 CEST 
Testing complete on i586 for the srpm 
gnome-settings-daemon-2.32.1-2.0.mga1.src.rpm

I confirmed the bug existed using the Core Release version,
with the menu entry Sytstem/Preferences/Monitors.

Updated to the core updates testing version, and was
able to set the default, and have the settings saved.

Advisory:
This bugfix update of gnome-settings-daemon fixes a
problem preventing preferences from being saved.

Still need an x86-64 tester for this one.

For testing, startx GNOME, then select Sytstem/Preferences/Montiors from the
menu, then select set default.

With the Core Release version of gnome-settings-daemon, it fails.
With the Core Updates Testing version, it works here.
Comment 8 Dave Hodgins 2011-09-20 09:52:41 CEST 
Ping x86-64 testers.  This update is very easy to test.
Comment 9 claire robinson 2011-09-20 14:36:22 CEST 
Confirmed OK 64 bit.


Update Validated.
