Just wanted to let you know that this still exists. I managed to fix it with some of the solutions on here, I tried doing the chmod 775 gconf.xml.system first to no help. Then I did the:
chmod a+rwx /tmp Then chmod -R $USER /home/$USER/.gconf I also just deleted a lot of stuff from my Documents folder. This was only a small partition and Ubuntu 11.04 imported settings from my dual boot which were much larger. Hope this helps someone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269215 Title: There is a problem with the configuration server.
