Thanks. > kill the gconfd-2 process and restart ekiga. .. it did not work. Same error message as before.
> Does gconftool-2 -u /apps/ekiga/general/gconf_test_age > fix the problem ? Likewise .. which is strange because the previous (debian 2.0.11-2) ekiga had no such problem. Googling around by the error msg suggests that this has occured in previous versions. I found references that the first line of 'ekiga.schemas' is often split, and that fixing it solves the problem. No so, in this case. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01376.html suggests that eugen was geting the same error during compilation. Why was it [apparently] compiled without avahi and dbus ? (I ask in my ignorance). Others have apparently been having this problem for some time. > http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01013.html I have also tried reinstalling the schemas manually, without success. > $ export GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --get-default-source` > $ /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule > /etc/gconf/schemas/ekiga.schemas .. and > $ export GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --get-default-source` > $ /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --makefile-uninstall-rule > /etc/gconf/schemas/ekiga.schemas .. but trying to reinstall schemas I now get > Tohunga:~# > > bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' > Tohunga:~# > /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule > /etc/gconf/schemas/ekiga.schemas > bash: --makefile-install-rule: command not found I'm still getting the same error msg on 'ekiga -d 4' But after > Tohunga:~# gconftool-2 --get-default-source > Tohunga:~# chmod -R 4755 /etc/opt/gnome/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults > chmod: cannot access `/etc/opt/gnome/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults': No > such file or directory > Tohunga:~# killall -9 gconfd-2 .. I get the Ekiga Configuration Assistant asking for an account ID and a PIN code. I skipped the Ekiga Call Out Account (I already have one with Diamondcard), being unsure about Audio Devices I chose the 'Ensoniq AudioPCI PTLIB/ALSA' option, the Moving Logo, and I have Ekiga 2.9.90 working. At this point I'm a bit confused .. this is my first experience of it. I admire its clean lines, but cannot immediately find all the functions I have become used to. It might be a good idea to keep an 'old' version around as an option until people migrate. I can't find the 'prescence' option in the address book which shows online Ekiga users. What I do find impressive, is that it seems to detect my video device, a basic fixed-focus Logitech Webcam which became undetectable by ekiga 2.0.11-2 .after trying ekiga-snapshot. The new manual is impressive .. I'll have to read it again. Cheers !
