Adam, are you trying to run vino-passwd from a remote SSH connection? Because I have the same error when I do so, but vino-passwd runs fine when logged into the desktop. I assume it can't contact gconf when SSHed so it dies poorly.
This is also probably the cause of your Vino server hanging - it needs to be setup locally. -- vino-passwd crashed with SIGSEGV in gconf_client_get_default() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
