Package: dconf-service Version: 0.26.0-2+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I noticed some programs not working, hanging, or going into infinite loops eating up all memory and swap space (e.g. Mate Panel or Mate Settings, cf. Bug#913996). Looking for the cause, I found that my D Conf file (see subject line) was owned by the super user instead of me with permissions not allowing anyone else access. If I am quick enough, I can resolve this situation by using Sudo to reset ownership to myself. Some programs immediately work again, others (like the Mate programs) need to be killed (so that they are automatically restarted by Mate, in this case). Sometimes the infinite loop (100% usage of one CPU) can be seen to start when I try to open Mate's main menu. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IE:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dconf-service depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u3 ii libdconf1 0.26.0-2+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 Versions of packages dconf-service recommends: ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.26.0-2+b1 dconf-service suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed
