Configure gconf?
I am trying to get Galeon working on my machine. When I run the application I get a message stating that it is not configured properly and to go to the Galeon FAQ. Upon doing this I find the solution to the problem as follows:
Edit the "path" file in the directory $sysconfdir/gconf/1. A basic configuration for the default backend would look like: xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory include "$(HOME)/.gconf.path" xml:readwrite:$(HOME)/.gconf xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults You can also take a look at $sysconfdir/gconf/1/path.example and in most cases you can simply move it to $sysconfdir/gconf/1/path. Be sure that the path file can be read by all users. Ensure you have a $sysconfdir/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults dir set up with the right permissions. In most cases you can run: chmod -R 755 $sysconfdir/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults When I try to do this I find that I don't have a directory called $sysconfdir. Can someone clue me in as to what I am supposed to be doing? |
Its below /etc
$ locate /gconf/gconf.xml.defaults /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/ blah blah blah FWIW I had the same error messages and galeon would not start. When I upgraded using Ximian it worked again, though I think the error messages remained. (not sure, haven't used it in a while) all the best, Robert_L |
