gpk-prefs crashes on startup

[Mike M]

attempting to run gpk-prefs doesnt work, merely causing a segfault, the output is
mike@mike-H55-UD3H:~/Desktop$ gpk-prefs
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"

(gpk-prefs:27193): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates' is not installed

(gpk-prefs:27193): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_settings_get_key_info: assertion `settings->priv->schema != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault

The shema should be provide by the settings-daemon package, but it's not there... Maybe it has moved with GNOME 3.2?

[Mike M (hairy-palms-19)]

just had a look, seems theres nothing in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas related to updates looking at what else is there ill try making a org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates.gschema.xml by hand tomorrow

[Mike M (hairy-palms-19)]

i managed to fix this problem as follows

wget http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/plain/data/org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates.gschema.xml.in.in

sed 's/_//g' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates.gschema.xml.in.in > out.txt

sudo mv out.txt /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates.gschema.xml

sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
