-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 greetings, during startup of kde under f8-dvd.i386, i receive following error messages; ++++++ app: = evolution-alarm app: = nm-applet - ------ an error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for [insert app name here]. some of your configuration settings may not work properly. 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://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-geo/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory 2: Failed to convert IOR '' to an object reference) ++++++ this only occurs when i boot with eth0 disconnected. easy solution, do not boot with eth0 disconnected. confusing solution, where do i make changes to disable eth0 from connecting to dsl modem during boot so that users may start and stop internet connection??? i have tried some changes to 'services', but, as yet, not correct ones. also, just which services should be disabled to have a 'stand alone' system. that is, _all_ unneeded networking features '=off', internet '=on demand'? f8 has come a long way from fc3, and i am glad to see it. just taking a little time to grasp how things are being done now. tia. - -- tc,hago. g . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mandriva - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIMyUPfZb4FyaU51QRApjiAJsGPkhNFesZOm4jPg8DHLZFO3/+igCdFsIH pAs26cHTBbON+On6feELqlc= =iMwJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
