Hello, I ran into this problem today. Nautilus crashed and now I have no access to the taskbar, my external hard drive, or any applications unless I click an icon in the folder. I also get several error messages just to st art when I log on, and they continue to appear every time I do anything. This
happens whether I log on as root or a regular user. Now these error messages state: ERROR: GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you ha ve stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf for information. (Details-1 IOR file '/tmp/gcondf-root/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gcondf located. N o such file or directory. Details-2 IOR file '/tmp/gcondf-root/lock/ior' no t opened successfully, no gcondf located. No such file or directory.) This is repeated a few times. I found the /tmp/gcondf-root directory but there was nothing inside of it. How did the subdirectories just disappear , or is that what really happened? Now, I did expand the permissions on the entire tmp directory to rwx for all becuase I was moving some junk out of it, but I did not touch the aforementioned directories at all. Neverthele ss, could expanding the permissions have something to do with this? I am real ly at a loss for this one, and the situation is desperate! Thank You for Responding: Andrew Stallard
