I get this error when I run gedit as root in terminal.
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 GConf configuration system 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.)
So I looked around and found something about running a system check. Well I really couldn’t find to much but I did find the command fsck and running it with the -n option this is what I got.
fsck -n
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16
e2fsck 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)

Now if I run the command as just fsck this is what I get.
WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
SEVERE filesystem damage.
Do you really want to continue (y/n)? no
So I said no because i’m not real sure of what it will do.
As you can see I have some orphaned inodes and these are probley from a Yast2 crashing a couple of times on me getting lockup because a repo was down or not responding.
Can any one help me out.
