Taking a hint from: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf/+bug/269215> [There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)]
I compared the permissions of /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system/ on the error machine against a new karmic install. This error machine had the permissions for the folder set to 775, the new karmic install have it set for 755. On the error machine I did: $ sudo chmod 755 /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system and I am no longer getting the 'usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256' error msg. -- GDM fails to authenticate pre-existent users. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432492 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
