** Description changed: Binary package hint: libgconf2-4 This is against Karmic Alpha 1. After upgrading and rebooting, when Xorg started (via gdm), I got an error dialog "/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with code 256" to which I clicked the Close button. Display manager failed to start (compiz), with some wierd error. Running gconf-sanity-check-2 from a terminal complained that the configuration was in use, but I - continued and it gave a error "permission denied: - /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system"... ah hah. + continued and it gave an error "permission denied: + /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system"... aha... $ l -d /etc/gconf/* drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 25 2006 /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 25 11:14 /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 3 21:27 /etc/gconf/2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 3 21:27 /etc/gconf/schemas drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 3 23:06 /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system Doing this fixed it. $ sudo chmod go+rx /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system Stopping and starting gdm and then logging in, everything seems fine. So, I'm guessing there is a packaging issue with wrong permissions on that directory when libgconf2-4 is installed/upgraded.
