I used to use meld regularly on different versions of system
config files (that are only readble by root). However,
sometime recently meld stopped working when run as root:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/meld", line 90, in <module>
meldapp.main()
File "//usr/lib/meld/meldapp.py", line 982, in main
app = MeldApp()
File "//usr/lib/meld/meldapp.py", line 562, in __init__
self.prefs = MeldPreferences()
File "//usr/lib/meld/meldapp.py", line 435, in __init__
super(MeldPreferences, self).__init__("/apps/meld", self.defaults)
File "//usr/lib/meld/prefs.py", line 92, in __init__
self._gconf.add_dir(rootkey, gconf.CLIENT_PRELOAD_NONE)
glib.GError: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes
are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS
locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for
information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not
receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a
reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout
expired, or the network connection was broken.)
Is there any way to get meld working again for root? What's a
"configuration server"? I already build it withough gnome
support (Gentoo gnome USE flag is unset).
