Hi My kids use gnome which won't start.
After entering appropriate details on the gdm screen and pressing enter the following message pops up: The files that contain your preference settings are currently in use. ... Do you want to continue They hit Continue, then another message pops up: No configuration sources in the configuration file '/etc/gconf/2/path ... Error reading the file: Failed: Couldn't open path file '/etc/gconf/2/path': No such file or directory And this is correct; there isn't. However, gconf and gconf2 are both installed. dpkg -L gconf2 reveals the above file. I tried a dpkg-reconfigure gconf2 but no joy - that file won't install. I've ar -x /var/cache/apt/archives/gconf2_2.4.0.1-2_i386.deb tar xvzf data.tar.gz thinking I could manually copy the missing files. However, I thought to ask here to see if anybody else has the problem and how they've fixed it before I try that. Any ideas?
