------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-16-10 17:57 ------- bonobo-activation-server not exiting is normal since evolution-wombat is still using it (otherwise, it auto-exits after a little timeout). evolution-wombat not exiting is a known problem in evolution 1.4 which will be fixed in evolution 1.6.x (because it has no way to know no component is still using it).. Anyway, it should not cause bonobo-activation-server goes crazy.. And I still don't understand why it is only doing that when using gdm.. I don't think it is NFS related because some RH folks are seeing it on with local home (but I can only reproduce it on GDM + NFS) -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: I've got this problem severals times, sometimes it disappears magically, sometimes i have to delete all my gnome settings ( ~/.gconf, ~/.gconfd, ~/.gnome ). Situation : - current cooker ( 2.4.22-10mdk, GConf-1.0.9-11mdk, GConf2-2.4.0.1-1mdk, nfs-utils-clients-1.0.5-1mdk, kdebase-3.1.92-2mdk, metacity-2.6.1-1mdk ) - home on a NFS share ( vers=3, tcp, rsize=8192, wsize=8192, nosuid, soft, intr, timeo=600 ) - NFS server = mdk 9.1 + soft RAID1 ( ext3 partition ) One more time again, I'm facing this "Gnome n'a pu d�marrer le d�mon de pr�f�rence. Pour l'instant il sera d�sactiv� et vous n'aurez pas acc�s aux th�mes, sons ... ) -> Gnome was unable to launch gnome preferences daemon. So i don't have theme ( ugly default one for style, color, theme, nautilus icons ), can't launch some applets ( windows list/systray, desktop switcher ) because of an OAFIID cryptic error ... And i have nothing interesting in ~/.xsession-errors This is not a locking problem on my nfs partition as I don't have the message saying that gconfd had problem locking some files. Nothing intersting too in /var/log/messages It's incredible how easily I can break gnome ( nfs bugs -> gconfd locking problem whereas kde works like a charm, ???? -> gnome preferences daemon not starting ). The only way to solve this is ... to reboot !
