I recently did a fresh install of Lenny from the DVDs, and everything
_was_ working fine. Using Gnome, Until yesterday, I was able to access
the System -> Administration Menu items to set up users and so forth.
However, yesterday and today I can no longer do this. When I click on
one of the Administration items, I get a dialog saying "the
configuration could not be loaded." This occurs the matter which user
name I use to login.
I know these applications need to be run by root, and if I login to a
console a regular user, I can su with the root password without problem.
I can also open a root terminal within Gnome. But if I execute one of
the utilities (e.g., /usr/bin/users-admin) from the root terminal, the
same error-message dialog pops up in Gnome.
I am completely stymied. The only thing that's happened in the past
couple of days was an upgrade of six packages that Lenny notified me
about. The packages were:
inux-image-2.6.26-1-686 ...
ghostscript ...
libgs8 ...
gs-common ...
libglib2.0-0 ...
liblcms1 ...
I doubt if the ghostscript stuff and liblcms1 cause of this problem,
which leaves only the kernel and libglib2.0-0.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem so I can administer Linux
within Gnome?
Thanks in advance for any help.
