1 Recently noticed: error popup when starting firefox, gnumeric, archive
2 manager, etc:
3
4
5 An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information
6 for {program}. Some of your configuration settings may not work
7 properly.
8
9 The details window says (in all cases):
10
11 Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that
12 you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS
13 locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for
14 information. (Details - 1: Server ping error:
15 IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0)
16
17 gconfd isn't running. Manually starting /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 worked
18 to start gconfd-2, but hasn't affected the gconf errors.
19
20 Possibly relevant: Yesterday openrc was updated from 0.6.0-r1 to 0.6.1-r1.
21 gconfd
22
23 Any suggestions regarding what's actually broken and how to fix it?
24
25 Thanks.
