gok-1.2.0-1.fc6 1. Install FC6 2. Try to launch gok on the command-line: " Sorry, GOK can't run because: GOK uses GConf 2 to store its settings and requires certain settings to be in GConf to run. GOK is currently unable to retrieve those settings. If this is the first time that you have run gok after installing it you may need to restart gconfd, you can use this command: 'gconftool-2 --shutdown' or log out and back in. "
odd. does it not install the gconf schema ?
Seems to all be there, and getting installed. $ rpm -q --scripts gok postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): scrollkeeper-update -q export GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`gconftool-2 --get-default-source` gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/gok.schemas > /dev/null preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): if [ "$1" -eq 0 ]; then export GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`gconftool-2 --get-default-source` gconftool-2 --makefile-uninstall-rule \ /etc/gconf/schemas/gok.schemas > /dev/null || : fi postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): scrollkeeper-update -q $ ls -l /etc/gconf/schemas/gok.schemas 1.2M -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2M Sep 8 18:03 /etc/gconf/schemas/gok.schemas The error is shown in gok_main_display_gconf_error() which is only called when one of those actions fail: directory_name = gconf_client_get_string (gconf_client, GOK_GCONF_KEYBOARD_DIRECTORY, &gconf_err); if (directory_name == NULL) { gok_log_x ("Got NULL keyboard directory key from GConf"); gok_main_display_gconf_error (); exit (1); } Or: directory_name = gconf_client_get_string (gconf_client, GOK_GCONF_ACCESS_METHOD_DIRECTORY, &gconf_err); if (directory_name == NULL) { gok_log_x ("Got NULL access method directory key from GConf"); gok_main_display_gconf_error (); exit (2); } Running gconftool-2 --shutdown and relaunching GOK worked. Still, the error message is pretty rubbish.
