Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

.xsessions-errors

(gnome-settings-daemon:1628): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_new_valist: object class `GsdOsdNotification' has no property named `\u0002'

** (gnome-settings-daemon:1628): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting...
Failed to play sound: Not available

Here are errors and as result, when i check "system --> pref --> sound"
                            nothing open but a popup box saying " waiting for hardware response", so sound hardware hda alc882 is not found.
                            of course, there is no sound at all. But if i do "sudo pulseaudio" into console, then i can open sound preferences, all seem ok except that "harware tab" is empty but i can listen audacious for example.

So, maybe it's a problem with gnome-alsamixer too.

I can't recreate this here (the GLib warning. The other issues you describe are normally because pulseaudio is not available). Please try to obtain a valgrind log following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

yes, that's happened before i start pulseaudio into console (don't start itself, have reported against gnome-control-center about that problem), an other problem is about acpid not started too (bug reported too)

I need a valgrind log of gnome-settings-daemon. And gnome-control-center has nothing to do with pulseaudio not starting automatically. That's more likely to be a broken configuration, but in any case, it's nothing to do with g-c-c

I've added a g-p-m task here, as it shares the same copy-and-paste code for the notifications

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-power-manager - 2.29.2-0ubuntu8

---------------
gnome-power-manager (2.29.2-0ubuntu8) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/02-notify-osd-support.patch:
    - NULL terminate the list of properties passed to g_object_new, to
      fix some memory errors and a warning (LP: #525220)
  * debian/patches/13-dont-query-notify-caps.patch:
    - Don't query the server capabilities for the status and warning
      notifications. Knowledge of the capabilities is not used anywhere
      and it was causing notify-osd to be activated early in the session
