It's not clear that there is anything wrong with gconf itself (no lockfiles are present, and e.g. "gconftool -R /" prints out numerous settings and exits with status 0), though I'm now working on a Natty system with the same home directory.
Aside from tweaking the program to handle this error case more gracefully, however, I think it would be sensible to save the user's upgrade decision in ~/.config/update-notifier/ (a directory which exists on my system, albeit empty) rather than rely on the GConf infrastructure. In my case, because the program was unable to save my "Don't upgrade" choice, the window kept popping up again and again throughout the day, causing great annoyance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784130 Title: check-new-release-gtk crashed with GError in on_button_dont_upgrade_clicked() -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
