There are three cause the gconfd not making connection. 1. is a stale slot, 2. that ORBit-2 does can not communicate over tcp/ip protocal and 3 there are multiple gconfd daemons running.
1. Test that there are no stale slots. The above responces give several ways to do this. Each of the above should be checked. 2. Verify your kernel supports TCP/IP. If it doesn't correct. 3. Verify there is only one gconfd running. At the terminal prompt issue the following command #find / -iname "gconfd" if you get more that one gconf for your system, remove one of them. The above steps should solve all the running GConf-2.26.1 -- GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; durring ssh X11 forwarding https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gconf in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
