Hello. Recently i found that many programs give me the following errors:

Quote:

GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Could not send message to gconf daemon: The name org.gnome.GConf was not provided by any .service files)

this one is caused because gconfd was not running. So, i went to /usr/libexec and executed gconfd-2 manually.
Here is what i get from strace's output:

i tried to re-emerge gconf and other stuff but nothing changes. I guess i can add something
to /etc/dbus-1 to allow gconf connections, but i have no idea why it doesn't work as it should.

Here is what i have in /etc/dbus-1. Maybe i'm missed something?
Quote:

find dbus-1/ -type f
dbus-1/system.conf
dbus-1/system.d/ConsoleKit.conf
dbus-1/system.d/audacious.conf
dbus-1/system.d/cups.conf
dbus-1/system.d/f-spot.conf
dbus-1/system.d/.keep_sys-apps_dbus-0
dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf
dbus-1/session.d/.keep_sys-apps_dbus-0
dbus-1/session.conf


gconf is 2.24.0 and gnome is 2.24.1, and i'm not in gnome, but in fluxbox, if it matters.

Please, help.

this is a bit late, but in case you still are interested they have a bug on it in Ubuntu
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf/+bug/336660

I am experiencing this annoying problem still.
