I'm trying to kill gnome-settings-daemon as mentioned at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting so that I can examine keyboard events with xev. However, when I do

killall gnome-settings-daemon

gnome-session just restarts it again.

I'm on Ubuntu 11.10.

  • Sorry, I had put the wrong url in. Now corrected. I'm trying to track down a keycode for a laptop key, and the updated url says to kill gnome-settings-daemon first in case it is eating some events. That's a topic for a whole new question though... – Dave E Jan 07 '12 at 16:45

11.10...

sudo -e /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop

Change X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true to X-GNOME-AutoRestart=false

Save. Does log out/log in suffice? Not sure. Maybe just reboot for simplicity.
