gconf error message

[Aubrey Bourke <bourke aubrey gmail com>]

Hi,

Just installed opensuse 11.4 running Gnome 3. I am getting an error message when installing packages with zypper.

• Exact error messages from any applications.

GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: The connection is closed)

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

dhcppc0:/etc/gconf/2 # rpm -q gconf2
gconf2-2.32.4-1.2.x86_64

• Output of ps jaxwww | grep gconf.
