(I tried to send a previous message that ws too big. Sorry about that.)
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.
The directory .gconfd only contains saved_state.
GConf-1.0.9-10
gconfd-2 not installed
returns nothing
returns nothing
does not exist
Redhat 9.0 kernet 2.4.20-8
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
