The same thing happened to me and hence I had to send the second
mail. I just hope that other guys are getting to read the second mail.

I will just run ps aux | grep "command" to see if they are started correctly or
not. Is there is any other better way to see if they are started correctly or
not.

neo1691@Innovator:~$ ps aux | grep gconf
neo1691   5202  0.0  0.0  53144  2516 ?        S    20:26   0:00
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gconf/gconfd-2

neo1691@Innovator:~$ ps aux | grep keyring
neo1691   6255  0.0  0.0  15296  1036 pts/1    S+   20:38   0:00 grep
--color=auto keyring
so keyring is not there, I remember I stopped the keyring service
because it was bringing up
the gnome-keyring warning whenever I used to run git commands.

neo1691@Innovator:~$ ps aux | grep notify
root        33  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S    20:19   0:00 [fsnotify_mark]
neo1691   6323  0.0  0.0  15300  1032 pts/1    S+   20:39   0:00 grep
--color=auto notify
