Public bug reported: libreoffice-core and libreoffice-gnome are two of the last few packages in the default Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME installs with a dependency on gconf.
I think some of the code that uses gconf is wrong as neither GNOME nor Unity set values any more there for things like default mail handler, font and proxy settings, and lockdown settings. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/shell/source/backends/gconfbe/gconfaccess.cxx Even though GTK3 provides an interface to access gsettings directly through GTK, it's still possible to call out to gsettings manually via the command line interface. ** Affects: df-libreoffice Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #41678 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41678 ** Also affects: df-libreoffice via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41678 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202924 Title: Drop gconf dependency, port to gsettings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1202924/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
