I installed Gnome under SuSE 9.0, using the SuSE 9.0 CDROMs, on a stand-alone system, and it worked quite well until today, when, after logging in, I saw a blue screen with a notice in the upper left hand corner: Please contact your system administrator to resolve the following problem: Could not resolve the address "xml/:readonly: /etc/opt/gnome/gconf.xml.mandatory" in the configuration file "/etc/opt/gnome/gconf/2/path" : Failed: Could not make directory '/etc/opt/gnome/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory: Permission denied What is going on? How can I cure it? thanks dj tuchler _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
