But running it as a separate user who isn't logged in on the desktop, you don't find it. So it spits out a warning, telling you. The failure should be benign though, and the editor will still run. The real answer is: don't do that. You don't want to be running GUI apps as anything but the logged-in user, in general. And you never want to be running any GUI app as root, ever. share|improve this answer answered Sep 14 '09 at 17:10 Andy Ross 8,5651723 Most helpful... thanks! –jldupont Sep 14 '09 at 17:47 Wh

You should do something about that before your post gets closed. –Agi Hammerthief Mar 20 '14 at 16:13 You might want to cut the 'solution' part out of your question and submit it as an answer. That's acceptable behaviour. –Agi Hammerthief Mar 20 '14 at 16:17 If you're logging into another machine with SSH, you'll get shell/terminal access. You don't need to open a terminal window on that machine. You can execute commands directly on that machine by typing them into the terminal on your machine. –Agi Hammerthief Mar 20 '14 at 16:21 2 As Nigel Nquande says, please press the answer your own question button, and copy and paste your Solution section into the answer. Not only is it acceptable, its encouraged. –derobert Mar 20 '14 at 16:38 2 In the meantime I have removed the solution from your question since it is not a question.

The problem If I try and load 32 bit applications which require gconf (such as firefox and totem) I recieve https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=80644 the following error:GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/45541/ information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: [b]Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-KnKGBcSHAp: Connection refused[/b])The last line of the error suggests it is something to do with dbus too. I can tell failed to you that the plug was pulled from my pc hence the problem is most likely to be a stale nfs lock. 2. Attempt at a solution I am new to ArchLinux and have searched how to resolve the stale nfs lock but find no clear instructions on how to do this. I was advised to change the permissions for ~/.dbus but this does not work.3. Other details Running 'sudo firefox' starts firefox failed to contact fine.I have no .gconf directory in /home !

Have anybody got a solution? Offline #3 2009-09-24 13:12:04 grey Member From: Europe Registered: 2007-08-23 Posts: 679 Re: Gconf error: "Failed to contact configuration server" on firefox start I'm not entirely sure, but here is what I would do:1. Create a new user account and try to start firefox as that user.2. are hal / dbus running (check with ps -ef |grep hal)3. If 1. works and hal/dbus are running, log out and remove everything under /tmp owned by you , plus .dbus/session_bus/*. Good ideas do not need lots of lies told about them in order to gain public acceptance.
