[Bug 776397] GConf error: Failed to contact configuration server

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable
release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test
with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about
it at http://www.ubuntu.com/download . Thanks again and we appreciate
your help.

Title:
  GConf error: Failed to contact configuration server

Status in “gconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gconf

  Login takes an exceedingly long time.  When the desktop does finally
  appear, a window appears with the following error message: "GConf
  error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause
  is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session but daemon.  See
  http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information.  (Details - 1:
  GetIOR failed: Timeout was reached)"

  Other similar errors have been reported, but they all seem to be in
  response to SSH or remote desktop logins.  This is a normal login,
  although the user home area is NFS-mounted from another host via
  LDAP+NFS+AutoFS.  This auto-mounted methodology works properly on all
  other hosts running Ubuntu-9.10.  The problem host differs in that it
  is running Ubuntu-11.04.
