Hi,
I'm not using the full GNOME desktop but only single applications like
'meld'.
(Only) for some users (including root on one machine and a non-root user
on an another machine)
meld fails with :
File /usr/lib64/meld/meld/ui/historyentry.py, line 121, in
_save_history
self.__gconf_client.set_list(key, gconf.VALUE_STRING, gconf_items)
glib.GError:
Configuration server couldn't be contacted: D-BUS error: Can't overwrite
existing read-only value: Value for
`/apps/gnome-settings/meld/history-direntry' set in a read-only source
at the
front of your configuration path
I have even removed $HOME/.gconf and $HOME/.local/meld with no success.
Any hints are very much appreciated,
Helmut.
The read-only source of gconf is in /etc/gconf/, probably
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml
I use meld too, but I have no entry of it in /etc/gconf (checked with
grep -ri meld /etc/gconf/).
But I do have entries for the gconf-path
`/apps/gnome-settings/meld/history-direntry' if I look at it with
gconf-editor. They are stored in
~/.gconf/apps/gnome-settings/meld/%gconf.xml
It seems history-direntry is a list of directories I used meld in.
Hope the info helps debugging,
Daniel
