Summary: media-video/totem sandbox violation with system-wide mandatory gconf settings
Product: Gentoo Linux Reporter: Thomas Koster <tkoster>
Component: [OLD] GNOMEAssignee: Gentoo Linux Gnome Desktop Team <gnome>
Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO    
Severity: normal CC: jrmalaq, mats.hellman, Sergiy.Borodych, skelter

Description Thomas Koster 2007-06-05 13:14:51 UTC
media-video/totem causes sandbox violations at pre-install when system-wide gconf settings are in use: the addpredict lines in src_compile only account for /root/gconf (which incidentally also causes problems for users with a non-standard location for root's home directory), whereas system-wide gconf settings are in /etc/gconf.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set system-wide gconf settings in /etc/gconf
2. emerge media-video/totem
Actual Results:

Comment 1 Norberto Bensa 2007-06-10 17:41:27 UTC
I did, emerge -1 gnome-doc-utils, and I got totem emerged. Don't ask me why... :-/
Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-04 15:20:04 UTC
so you can't actually reproduce the problem, do you ?
Comment 3 Mats Hellman 2007-08-30 09:33:53 UTC
I had the same problems. Access violations merging totem.
Re merging gnome-doc-utils fixes this. 
Comment 4 Willard Dawson 2007-08-30 13:17:15 UTC
Ditto on comment #3. Re-emerging gnome-doc-utils fixes this.

re-emerge gnome-doc-utils help me too
Comment 6 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-09-09 22:08:32 UTC
guys, stop flooding this bug with gnome-doc-utils/python-2.5 migration sandbox violation and check bug #104088.

This bug is about different a different issue which appears with read-only settings in gconf.
Comment 7 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-27 19:26:29 UTC
Is this still an issue with totem 2.22* ? Could you also explain what you mean by "Set system-wide gconf settings in /etc/gconf" exactly?

Thanks
Comment 8 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-27 22:58:30 UTC
system wide mandatory settings as in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory... for once I'm sure you have totem on your box, please test it by yourself before blindly closing a bug. Reopening 'till I see a report based on facts or check it myself.
Comment 9 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-28 06:19:04 UTC
I know what system wide gconf means. I just wanted to know what Thomas implied by that. What gconf key did he modify ? Did he set it as mandatory or default? Hence the NEEDINFO, because I feel we "need more info"...

And no i'm not "closing" the bug, i'm just using the appropriate mechanisms provided by bugzilla. But fine I'll leave it open
Comment 10 skelter 2008-08-02 14:49:13 UTC
kind of frustrating.  I ran into this bug repeatedly and then prepared my emerge info, and re-ran emerge --update --newuse --deep world > emerge.log 2>&1 to be able to post it as an attachment, and then it worked.  Is it possible some sort of race condition is involved?  I'm not sure how much more info I could provide now that I cannot repro the bug.
Comment 11 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-25 08:44:04 UTC
Closing NEEDINFO again.

@Thomas and Skelter,

If either of you can provide more information about the bug, for example a full build log, or even just the name of the keys which you guys have made mandatory so that we can try this, that'd be really cool.

Don't hesitate to reopen this bug with any additional information you can give us.

Thanks
