Description Nick Palmer 2004-04-27 12:30:01 UTC 
Upgraded to Gnome2, and gnucash crashes unless you start gconfd-1 first. The workaround I have implemented is to create a shell script that checks to see if the user is already running gconfd-1, and if not, then start it in the background and then start the real gnucash binary.

Oh, this is with Gnucash 1.8.8. I should have mentioned that.

Comment 2 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-05-04 00:41:45 UTC 
are you using gconf-1.0.9 (from slot=1) ?
Comment 3 Nick Palmer 2004-05-05 11:31:36 UTC 
Um, according to /var/db/ I have gconf-1.0.8-r5. I will try upgrading to the gconf-1.0.9 that is in portage and see if that fixes it without the work around.
Comment 4 Nick Palmer 2004-05-05 11:44:06 UTC 
Upgrading to gconfd 1.0.9 solved the problem. Looking at the gnucash ebuild, there is no RDEPEND for gconfd. Perhaps we could add one for >=gconfd-1.0.9 and < gconfd-2.0.0 until gnucash migrates to gnome-2.

Thanks for the help.

too bad range dependencies don't work.
