 |
|
Hi there,
I wanted to set up Gnomemeeting so I can talk to my friends over voice and webcam, so I emerged it (Gnomemeeting 1.0.2 ~x86) and it compiled without a problem.
But when I try to start it, I get the following error message:
| Code: | Gconf key error
GnomeMeeting got an invalid value for the GConf key "/apps/gnomemeeting/general/gconf_test_age".
It probably means that your GConf schemas have not been correctly installed or the that permissions are not correct.
Please check the FAQ (http://www.gnomemeeting.org/faq.php), the throubleshoot section of the GConf site (http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/) or the mailing list archives for more information (http://mail.gnome.org) about this problem. |
Reading the message, I went to the Gnomemeeting site and read the FAQ, which covers the error I am getting. I performed the following commands as the FAQ suggested...
| Code: | $ chmod -R 4755 /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/
$ killall -9 gconfd-2 |
...and tried to launch Gnomemeeting again, but the error still persists.  I don't really understand much of the GConf site's troubleshooting section either - I'm a bit of a novice... 
I had a look in the GConf editor and there are a few entries for gnomemeeting in there under "apps" - gnomemeeting > devices > audio, video - the audio and video sections list my sound card and TV capture card - but there's nothing else. There is no "general/gconf_test_age" as gnomemeeting is looking for.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I can fix this so I can get chatting?  I'd appreciate any response. 
Many thanks |

ok fixed it. Somehow, the correct gconf schemas were not applied to my gconf registry. To fix:
| Code: |
GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=xml::/home/user/.gconf \
gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/gnomemeeting.schemas
|
replacing user with your username. |

Many thanks, this worked perfectly! 
Was it a problem with the ebuild? |

I'm still getting the same error after executing the above step. Anyone knows why?

Maybe try this (as root, I believe):
| Code: |
gnomemeeting-config-tool --install-schemas
|

Thanks. That's what I had to do to get gnomemeeting-1.2.1 to work.
