There are some common causes of this problem: 1) your configuration path file /etc/gconf/2/path doesn't contain any databases or wasn't found 2) somehow we mistakenly created two gconfd processes 3) your operating system is misconfigured so NFS file locking doesn't work in your home directory or 4) your NFS client machine crashed and didn't properly notify the server on reboot that file locks should be dropped. If you have two gconfd processes (or had two at the time the second was launched), logging out, killing all copies of gconfd, and logging back in may help. If you have stale locks, remove ~/.gconf*/*lock. Perhaps the problem is that you attempted to use GConf from two machines at once, and ORBit still has its default configuration that prevents remote CORBA connections - put "ORBIIOPIPv4=1" in /etc/orbitrc. As always, check the user.* syslog for details on problems gconfd encountered. There can only be one gconfd per home directory, and it must own a lockfile in ~/.gconfd and also lockfiles in individual storage locations such as ~/.gconf dmesg | grep gconf produces dmesg | grep gconf [ 14.015583] at-spi-registry[2005]: segfault at c ip b7403789 sp bf9c8fb0 error 4 in libgconf-2.so.4.1.5[b73ec000+2d000] [ 8998.155756] at-spi-registry[7620]: segfault at c ip b746f789 sp bfad1250 error 4 in libgconf-2.so.4.1.5[b7458000+2d000] [ 9007.016758] gsettings-data-[7803]: segfault at c ip b76d7789 sp bfb40940 error 4 in libgconf-2.so.4.1.5[b76c0000+2d000] [ 9007.052302] gsettings-data-[7811]: segfault at c ip b7824789 sp bfe0ec40 error 4 in libgconf-2.so.4.1.5[b780d000+2d000] [ 9074.406640] at-spi-registry[8056]: segfault at c ip b7349789 sp bfa3ae40 error 4 in libgconf-2.so.4.1.5[b7332000+2d000] Reproducible: Always -- 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.
