Gsettings schema not installed?

All:

Whenever I try to start firefox, it crashes after going to any website with a core dump. With gdb, I obtained this:

(firefox:7395): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system

Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
0x00007ffff0c5aa27 in g_logv () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0

I've tried to recompile schemas with

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

but it hasn't helped. I've also tried reinstalling glib, glib2 and firefox, also to no avail.

It appears that it might be permssions-related, since I can run it with gksudo just fine. Any ideas?

I dont know exactly what the problem is, but you can probably fix it by installing (better: downgrading from testing/libx11) extra/libx11.
At least I could when I ran into the same problem.

I can't test at the moment, but I see that the -2 release of libx11 removed the shell scripts that set a few environment variables. I wonder if adding the contents of:

https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … ges/libx11

to a script in /etc/profile.d would solve the problem. Does this qualify as bug in the libx11 package?

Re: Gsettings schema not installed?

I've come back, and tested it on my arch machine. Running the xorg.sh script allows firefox to work normally.

EDIT:

Relevant libx11 bug. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31204?s … name=&type[0]=&sev[0]=&pri[0]=&due[0]=&reported[0]=&cat[0]=&status[0]=open&percent[0]=&opened=&dev=&closed=&duedatefrom=&duedateto=&changedfrom=&changedto=&openedfrom=&openedto=&closedfrom=&closedto=
