Hi, I have a problem with my X11 server under my root user. I'm really not sure what happened. I logged out one day, and tried to log back in the next day and all I get is some weird stuff from Gnome. I then have to restart the x server using Ctrl+ALT+BACKSPACE to end the session. Then I get this error msg repeated over and over until I hit Ctrl+C to get the prompt: 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: IOR file '/root/.gconfd/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory 2: IOR file '/root/.gconfd/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory)
I tried looking at this web site and doing the things it advised. However, they did not work. You should know that I am running an NFS share from this computer, but the files that it needs are on on the drive that linux is running from. This page really did not say anything about the lock file 'missing'. It did mention that you could delete it and try again, but the lock file isn't there. In fact the lock part of this dir isn't here. Thanks for any help. David Smith -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
