https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=345925 Summary: pressing caps lock brings up gnome-settings-daemon error message with crazy hostname Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gregkh@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Running FACTORY version of GNOME, if you press the caps lock key, I get a dialog box that comes up saying: "An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-settings-daemon. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly." The details of the error box says: "Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-3(NXDOMAIN)/0/numlock_on": `(' is an invalid character in key/directory names" For some reason I have my hostname set to "3(NXDOMAIN)" due to some other networking errors and using a hotel wireless network. It is not the same hostname that was when gnome started up. I'm guessing that we need to "sanitize" the hostname variable to be something that gconf would allow as a key/directory name. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
