[Bug 367169] [NEW] GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; durring ssh X11 forwarding

[Keith Buel]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gconf

I am connecting from a Jaunty computer to another computer running
Jaunty, using ssh X11 forwarding.

When I try to open any application such as gedit, I get the following
error over and over again:

GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible
causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you
have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See
http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed
to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-
QS6NzEDBEh: Connection refused)


The application does not open.

Client machine:
lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
Release:	9.04


Server:
lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
Release:	9.04
