[SOLVED]GNOME-SYSTEM-TOOLS: The configuration could not be loaded

bhadotia · 2008-12-09 17:31:27

Hello there!
I'm a ubuntu user completely new to arch. I got my desktop up and running but there seems to be a problem setting up the gnome-system-tools program. Whenever I try to laaunch any application in this package I get this error message:

The configuration could not be loaded
You are not allowed to access the system configuration.

I tried the solution on this forum thread (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=45854 ), but to no avail. I am still getting the same error message. This is my DAEMONS line in rc.conf:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal stbd !network !dhcdbd !networkmanager wicd netfs crond alsa fam gdm)

I have added both my user and root to the stb-admin group, this is the part of my groups file that shows this:

stb-admin:x:103:root,abhishek

Can anyone please help me figure out where I'm going wrong.
Many thanks in advance.

Since a recent gnome upgrade, I haven't been able to get them working properly, but you might want to check out this post and see if any of it helps you:

Hi! And thanks for the reply.
Sorry, but that thread did not help me.
Any other suggestions?:D

I was reading post installation wiki and found the following command to reinstall the whole system:

pacman -S $(comm -3 <(pacman -Qq) <(pacman -Qqm))

As a few things were not going right and I was unable to solve the problems using the ordinary methods, I decided to run the above command and now everything seems to be working fine .Though I'm not sure that this will remain like that, as the process was inturrpted a couple of times such that I had to hard reset the laptop.
But everything seems to be going fine now - the system tools have started to work normally and another gnome-related problem has been solved.:D
