GConf-dbus doesn't like gettext_domain in schema

Description

I am running Fedora 13 in a VM. When I run sugar-emulator, Metacity crashes. Sugar does load, but apport reports a bug.

[tim@sugar Sugar]$ ./sugar-jhbuild run sugar-emulator
Warning: unknown distro version, automatic fallback to rawhide.

Looks like the GConf you are using is not finding the metacity schema, thus missing the default values.

I'm not sure there's anything inside Sugar that can be done about it, but I'm not sure to which component reassign this to.

This is an issue with GConf-dbus using different paths than the distro-shipped GConf on Fedora 13. I already fixed a similar one for Debian, but apparently Fedora 13 uses yet another directory.

Tim, can you paste the contents of /usr/share/gconf/default.path (or wherever Fedora put that file), please?

Is the workaround to install fedora 12?

comment:4 follow-up: Changed 13 years ago by sascha_silbe

The workaround is:

cd sugar-jhbuild
rm -rf install
./sugar-jhbuild build -n --skip=GConf-dbus

This will break SUGAR_PROFILE support (i.e. running multiple Sugar instances under the same user account in parallel).

Replying to sascha_silbe:

The workaround is:

cd sugar-jhbuild
rm -rf install
./sugar-jhbuild build -n --skip=GConf-dbus

This will break SUGAR_PROFILE support (i.e. running multiple Sugar instances under the same user account in parallel).

If we still want to support that, the attached patch fixes it.
