[Bug 383461] Re: gconf-sanity-check-2 exits with code 256 on Xorg start
This is because a line in gconfd still references that directory. Whenever it receives a org.gnome.GConf.Default.SystemSet signal, it notifies listeners of that directory that it changed. But when it does so, if the directory is missing, it creates it with 0700 permissions (i.e. drwx--). So two things are wrong there: (1) It should be referencing gconf.xml.defaults not .system and (2) it *seems* like it should be creating the directory with 0755 permissions. But issue (2) is moot if we fix (1). Still might be worth an upstream bug though. Additionally, we should probably now add a line to the packaging fixing this issue for people that upgraded to Karmic by fixing the permissions on that directory. Also, the package should own/create that directory, since gconf-sanity-check doesn't like the directory to be missing if we're going to add it to our default path (as we do). ** Changed in: gconf (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = In Progress ** Changed in: gconf (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Michael Terry (mterry) -- gconf-sanity-check-2 exits with code 256 on Xorg start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gconf in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Here's a patch that does 3 things: 1) Fixes the directory permissions for anyone upgrading from the broken version 2) Creates the directory if it doesn't exist 3) Fix the reference in code from xml.system to xml.defaults ** Branch linked: lp:~mterry/gconf/fix-xml-system-383461 ** Attachment added: gconf-fix-xml-system.debdiff http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27823176/gconf-fix-xml-system.debdiff -- gconf-sanity-check-2 exits with code 256 on Xorg start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gconf in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

** 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.

So, I'm guessing there is a packaging issue with wrong permissions on that directory when libgconf2-4 is installed/upgraded. -- gconf-sanity-check-2 exits with code 256 on Xorg start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gconf in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I get the same error dialog during start. But when I run gconf-sanity- check-2 from a terminal I get no output and it exits with code 0. -- gconf-sanity-check-2 exits with code 256 on Xorg start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gconf in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

@Michael: I got the same when trying that after I was logged in. Try it when you're on the gdm screen and change into a tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1 for example) and rund the sanity check there. My guess for the exit code 0 is that the sanity check doesn't work anymore after gconf is loaded on login. -- gconf-sanity-check-2 exits with code 256 on Xorg start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gconf in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I had the same problem after upgrading from jaunty to karmic alpha 1 and added a comment on bug 380234 for this. But I'm not sure if the issues described there are exactly the same as the issue described here so I won't mark it as a duplicate. Instead I marked bug 383434 as a duplicate of this bug since this bug contains more information about the issue. ** Changed in: gconf (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- gconf-sanity-check-2 exits with code 256 on Xorg start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gconf in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
