Ubuntu Installation :: Error: "Failed To Contact Configuration Server"
Mar 9, 2010
Attempting clean install of ubuntu 9.10 using Flash drive. received the above error message. Have been away for almost a year and have forgotten much of what I thought I had learned. I tried a second download, despite "no errors".
I'm getting a strange error on Ubuntu 10.04 when starting firefox, see output:
Code:
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 [URL] for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon
whenever i do anything as sudo i get 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 [URL].. for information. (Details - 1: Could not send message to GConf daemon: Connection is closed)
I developed a java application to organize the articles and notes for what I need for my work reports. The path appear in a jlist component and by clicking on I'd like the file opened. The application works fine in /home side.
In /root side I get this message error:
"GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon." I work in KDE (OpenSuse 11.4). Why I need a configuration tipically of GNOME?
I just installed ubuntu 10.10 x64 It worked okay for awhile, but now everytime I startup I get this error message:
GConf error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http... (Details-1:Server ping error:IDLmg.org/CORBA/CoMM_FAILURE:1.0)
So my desktop is basically worthless (Can't vnc in, windows have no title bar, can't launch anything)
Anyone what this gksu error is about (it repeats it three times)
gksu-2.0.0-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm # gksu ls
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 [URL] for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)
i been getting errors when trying to use zypper from the console. This happens in 2 pcs, and errors seem to be the same,One has 11.4 + gnome 2, standar installation (with gnome) from 11.4 DVD. The error i get whenever i run something like zypper install xxxyyy.rpm or zypper update is:
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See GConf configuration system for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: The connection is closed)
I dont know if its related, but the one with gnome 3 constantly gives me (what i think is) a kernel panic when i shut down the system, it happens fast and the text on the screen is not "linear" but spread all over the screen, so i cant read the whole message, but it does say something about glib and corruption.This is actually the first time(s) ibe seen a kernel panic ever since i used ubuntu.
This seems to have just started. I read a .pdf document with evince and I get a whole bunch of messages like the following.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 URL... for information. (Details - 1: Server ping error:IDL:omg org/ CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0)What does this mean? why is evince trying to contact a server when I just want to read a document?
I have just recently switched from Gnome to KDE in 11.2 since there was some sort of major KDE update that fixed the issues I had been having with KDE. Ever since, I have not been able to get miro to load. I try to run it and all I get is the bouncing logo, then nothing. When I try to run Miro in terminal, I get this:
solomon@linux-yz7i:~> miro ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.150:/org/participatoryculture/dtv/OneTime: dbus.etop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote applicge bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connect PyNotify support disabled on your platform.
And it will sit there for eternity or until I close the terminal window. When I run Miro as root, I get this:
linux-yz7i:/home/solomon # miro Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/miro.real", line 48, in <module> upgrade.upgrade() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/miro/plat/upgrade.py", line 77, in upgrade if client.dir_exists("/apps/democracy/player") and not client.dir_exists("/apps/miro"):

I'm using FC12 with kde and cannot update the system time using the gui. The error is :Error unable to contact time server. How do i get it to work for the rest of the family who do not want to mess aboutcli mode?This does work from the terminal:ntpdate -u ntp.exnet.com so client software is present and correct leaving me at a loss.
I tried to install php from source file on centos server and i got the error as # ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/packages/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql --prefix=/usr/local/packages/apache/php --enable-force-cgi-redirect --disable-cgi --with-zlib --with-gettext --with-gdbm

I realize this probably isn't the best place to be posting this as it relates to project open, but they don't have a forum.
We recently upgraded our Ubuntu server and now when trying to use project open we get the follow error message, does anyone know why this may be, or have any guesses as to why this may be.

I am currently trying to upgrade over 100 rpms on multiple Red Hat servers. Whenever I try to do a rpm -u /packages/*.rpm i recieve a failed dependencies error on the very first rpm. I know that I can go though each rpm one by one and trace each dependency but that will take forever. Is there a way to skip these errors? I know the -nodeps command for rpm but I dont want to screw something up but running all of these rpms on -nodeps
i am trying to install symantec endpoint on a linux server by this command rpm -ivh sav-1.0.3-8.i386.rpm but it gives me the following error error: unpacking of archive failed on file /opt/Symantec/bin/navdefutil;4ceb8d6b: cpio: mkdir failed - No such file or directory
when I try to update my Debian, I have the following internal error:Error message:Fetch failed: W:Failed to fetch [URL] Unable to find expected entry free/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?), W:Failed to fetch [URL] Unable to find expected entry free/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) , W:Failed to fetch [URL] Unable to find expected entry free/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?), E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Since upgrading to Lucid, I am getting the following dialog warning on login: 'Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors X Server does not support size requested' Im using the current proprietary NVIDIA graphics driver with dual heads. My display is fine, but the warning every time I login is annoying. After googling around I found this thread: [URL]. I tried going to Monitor Preferences as suggested. My resolution as displayed in the default tool is set to 3840 x 1200, which I suspect is the issue forcing the dialog, but I cant change the resolution, refresh rate or rotation from the Monitor Preference dialog box. dino99's response (in the referenced post) about xorg.conf not being needed anymore seems relevant. How can I resolve this issue and get rid of this annoying warning? Is there a configuration that I can update with a supported resolution to placate lucid?
When the RPM runs it come up with this error. How do I install the required dependencies? I have added more repositories, but still there are a few dependencies missing. Is there a zypper/sudo -get or something available? Opensuse 11.1 Gnome

I have installed openldap on debian lenny as said here [URL]clients" for both ldap server and ldap client on 192.168.1.192. Now I can make normal ldap successfully but I would like to do secure ldap and replication ldap too. "ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)" here is the error I got stuck with when I follow this link for replication and ssl/tls part[URL]Then I google to find solution and then try these commands
Just installed openldap server on a VM CentOS called 'ldapsrv', it works fine, ldapsearch returns all ldap information.
Installed openldap client on another VM CentOS called 'ldapclient1', configured it with most basic configuration, no ssl/tls etc. but ldapsearch returns error:
I am behind a funny firewall, so that may have something to do with this, but since the problem materialized upon update to F14, I am assuming that this has something to do with it as well. (Both connections are on the internal network, so should not invoke the firewall/proxy, so the firewall issue is probably a red herring.)Since the update, neither evolution-mapi nor evolution-exchange (over OWA) are able to access my email. Here is the error given when using evolution-mapi:
Code: Unable to authenticate to Exchange MAPI server: file exchange-mapi-connection.c: line 359 (exchange_mapi_connection_new): assertion `profile != NULL' failed Please enter the MAPI
I am trying to configure and compile the pam_ldap and nss_ldap for MIPS architecture. for this they need ldap library. so I am trying to compile openldap code for MIPS first, but the configuration is failing.The command and options used for configuration is as follows.

Ubuntu has been very good for us, fast, small foot print, But just yesterday it decided not to boot up. It gets to the login screen, and shows a warning... "Install problem, the Gnome power management configuration installed incorrectly, contact your administrator" What can I do to free this up?
