Re: gconf problem

Scharff,

    Redhat 9.0 is on GNOME 2.x, you need Gconf 2 to make it work. So install the gconf 2 rpm. gconf 1.0 is legacy and I think it is there for some older apps.

Hi, When I tried to log back to in my redhat 9.0 linux machine, there was a problem with gconf. I can still login in the X environment as root but not as user X (normal user).

I think that the problem came from the fact that I accessed the account from X as a root and change the rights on all the files.

Reading the infos I couldn't fix my problem so decided to put this message. Here are some infos. Thanks. (I also posted this message in the nautilisu mailing list. Sorry!)

  • In /home/X:

The directory .gconfd only contains saved_state.

  • Exact version of GConf 1 and GConf 2 that you have installed.

GConf-1.0.9-10

gconfd-2 not installed

  • Output of ps jaxwww | grep gconf.

returns nothing

  • Output of gconf-sanity-check-1

returns nothing

  • gconf-sanity-check-2 if any.

         does not exist

  • What operating system are you using, and what version of it.

Redhat 9.0 kernet 2.4.20-8

  • Exact error messages from any applications

When I log in, there is a black screen with some error messages I cannot see. To see them I login in in text mode and lauch gcdconf-1 and login in X mode and then I saw:

An error occurred while loading or savinf configuration information for gnome-session. Some of your configuration settings maynot work properly.

Configuration server couldn't be contacted: CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA BAD_OPERATION:1.0

  • What appears in the user.* syslog
