gconf2 - sid gnome won't start
Hi
My kids use gnome which won't start.
After entering appropriate details on the gdm screen and pressing
enter the following message pops up:
The files that contain your preference settings are currently in
use.
...
Do you want to continue
They hit Continue, then another message pops up:
No configuration sources in the configuration file
'/etc/gconf/2/path
...
Error reading the file: Failed:
Couldn't open path file '/etc/gconf/2/path': No such file or
directory
And this is correct; there isn't. However, gconf and gconf2 are both
installed. dpkg -L gconf2 reveals the above file. I tried a
dpkg-reconfigure gconf2 but no joy - that file won't install.
I've
ar -x /var/cache/apt/archives/gconf2_2.4.0.1-2_i386.deb
tar xvzf data.tar.gz
thinking I could manually copy the missing files.
However, I thought to ask here to see if anybody else has the
problem and how they've fixed it before I try that.
Any ideas?
Jonathan
