Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2013-09-06 13:13:18 UTC
What do any of the following say ?

rpm -ql dconf-editor | grep schema
echo $GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR

Does it start working after running the following (as root) ?

glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2/schemas

Rather than "glib-2", the directory is actually "glib-2.0". After I do:

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

dconf-editor starts fine. Looking at the .spec file:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/dconf.git/tree/dconf.spec#n64

shouldn't the -editor package call glib-compile-schemas? I just installed dconf-editor on a fresh F20 system (where dconf was, of course, already installed), which did not compile the GSettings schemas, even though a new schema was installed. It looks like this broke in 0.16.0-2.

Attached is a patch which moves the schema compilation to the subpackage. I did a scratch build in Koji which seemed to work fine (both removal and installation updated the compiled schemas):

Thank you. After this, dconf-editor runs perfectly!

This got fixed in dconf-0.18.0-2.fc20.
