Hi all, I run a mini-lab of debian sarge/gnome desktops in our school library. Until today we were running gnome 2.6. These workstations auth from an NT server (winbind/pam) on which some muppet created 600 usernames with white spaces in. All worked well until today's upgrade to gnome 2.8. Now only (very few) logons - those without spaces - don't receive a gconf error. The error occurs on logon, upon trying to start gnome, and says that gconf cannot open a database to store settings in. Handy gnome apps (such as the panel with all the menus) fail to start. **All users without spaces are fine. All those with spaces are hosed. Thus it seems ~/.gconf can no longer be found if the path has a space...** The path seems to be set in /etc/gconf/2/path and appears to use xml to set the user's homedir. This seems hugely significant for anyone who authorises using winbind and wishes to use gnome. Thanks -- Matt Johnson ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!
