Bug Description

This problem appeared after installed nvidia-319-updates and nvidia-prime. Using Nvidia GT 740M (before the instalation, I was using only Intel drivers, my hardware has Optimus technology).

Try to run gnome-settings-daemon from terminal, I got this message:

"(gnome-settings-daemon:5359): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 189 error_code 8 request_code 140 minor_code 30)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Trappe pour point d'arrêt et de trace (core dumped)"

GTK 2 themes is not working.

Why can't the bug which this is a duplicate of be found? It is obviously not fixed as I'm running Saucy daily build.

Happens for me too. Nvidia-318 + gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu9 won't work together.

Same problem here. The Ambiance theme is disabled, fonts and decorations are ... ugly. Ubuntu 13.10 64bit, nvidia-319, nvidia-prime, and an nvidia GT650M.

Could somebody get a debug backtrace for the issue?

$ export GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1
$ gdb gnome-settings-daemon
(gdb) b gdk_x_error
(gdb) command
> bt
> c
> end
(gdb) r --replace

(that should print the bt for you when it stops)

Could somebody check if that's happening using the "nouveau" driver rather than the nvidia binary ones?

Attached you'll find the output from gdb you suggested to send.

Looks like XRRSetOutputPrimary() fails in my case.

Hi ya,
I have same bug. But I found that disabling xrand plugin of settings-daemon via dconf-editor fixed my problem. It appears to me that setting-deamon cannot handle display with excisting nvidia-setting.

Hello,

I like to confirm ahmet_der workaround. Works like a charm. The problem is you can't manage the display via gnome-control-center anymore. But I think this is a big clue to solve the problem.

Best regards.
