Bug Description
Binary package hint: gconf
I am connecting from a Jaunty computer to another computer running Jaunty, using ssh X11 forwarding.
When I try to open any application such as gedit, I get the following error over and over again:
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://
The application does not open.
Client machine:
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
Server:
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
