Public bug reported: I'm running Lubuntu 13.04 Beta 2 with Compiz. I've been launching gconf- editor as follows, trying to execute a change to move metacity buttons from the right to the left - (I'm using gtk-window-decorator).
However, it suffers a hard crash immediately after gconf-editor is launched with the specified key (output below)... cefn@cefn-raring-dell:~$ gconf-editor apps/metacity/layout button_layout ** ERROR:gconf-tree-model.c:59:gconf_tree_model_get_tree_path_from_gconf_path: assertion failed: (key[0] == '/') Aborted (core dumped) ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: gconf-editor 3.0.1-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-17.27-generic 3.8.6 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-17-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu5 Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Apr 9 19:33:06 2013 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gconf-editor MarkForUpload: True ProcCmdline: gconf-editor apps/metacity/layout Signal: 6 SourcePackage: gconf-editor UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo ** Affects: gconf-editor (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-crash i386 need-i386-retrace raring ** Description changed: I've been launching gconf-editor as follows, trying to execute a change to move metacity buttons from the right to the left - (I'm using gtk- window-decorator within compiz). - However, it suffers a hard crash immediately after gconf-editor with the - specified key ... + However, it suffers a hard crash immediately after gconf-editor is + launched with the specified key ... cefn@cefn-raring-dell:~$ gconf-editor apps/metacity/layout button_layout ** ERROR:gconf-tree-model.c:59:gconf_tree_model_get_tree_path_from_gconf_path: assertion failed: (key[0] == '/') Aborted (core dumped) I'm running Lubuntu 13.04 Beta 2 ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: gconf-editor 3.0.1-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-17.27-generic 3.8.6 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-17-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu5 Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Apr 9 19:33:06 2013 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gconf-editor MarkForUpload: True ProcCmdline: gconf-editor apps/metacity/layout Signal: 6 SourcePackage: gconf-editor UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo ** Description changed: - I've been launching gconf-editor as follows, trying to execute a change - to move metacity buttons from the right to the left - (I'm using gtk- - window-decorator within compiz). + I'm running Lubuntu 13.04 Beta 2 with Compiz.
