This may caused by another bug reported in Debian, about Mono not following symbolic links for some things:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500799 Any chance your /usr, /lib/, or /etc are symbolic links? Either way, it would be helpful if you could run the following command: strace -e trace=file tomboy &> trace.out && grep "/config\"" trace.out Use ctrl+c to quit it after running for a second or two, then paste the output here. Mine looks like this: $ strace -e trace=file tomboy &> blah.out && grep "/config\"" blah.out ^Copen("/etc/mono/config", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 open("/home/sandy/.mono/config", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/selinux/config", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) I'm curious where yours is looking *instead* of /etc/mono/config. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #500799 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500799 -- "failed to load applet OAFIID:TomboyApplet" After Upgrade to 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385704 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
