Re: [GnomeMeeting-devel-list] Gconf key error with GnomeMeeting 1.3.0

["Jonathan H. Wheaton" <jonathan_wheaton adelphia net>]

Hi Libin,

I don't know if you found a resolution to this problem yet, but here's
what I did to get past it: since we want all the Gconf keys to be
"apps/gnomemeeting-snapshot" and not "apps/gnomemeeting" there are some
additional files that need to be changed, mostly in the po subdirectory,
but also in a few other places.

First I created a list of files with "apps/gnomemeeting-snapshot/":

$ find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -l "apps\/gnomemeeting\/" >
filelist

You'll want to sanity check the generated file.  I took out the
Changelog (and since I had already compiled once, any .o files and the
gnomemeeting binary).

Next I changed all the keys with this short Python script (I'm sure
there are better ways, this is what my limited experience came up with):

-----------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
f = open('filelist')
filelist = f.readlines()
f.close()
for file in filelist:
    file = file[:-1]
    print 'ed "%s"' % file
    input = os.popen('ed "%s"' % file, 'w')
    input.write('g/apps\/gnomemeeting\//s//apps\/gnomemeeting-snapshot
\//g\n')
    input.write('wq\n')
    input.close()
-----------------------------------

There is one more file you'll need to edit though, the
gnomemeeting-config-tool.in.  Open it and search and replace on
apps/gnomemeeting with apps/gnomemeeting-snapshot.  Also replace
gnomemeeting.schemas with gnomemeeting-snapshot.schemas (one
occurrence).

Next step is to clean up and run autogen again and make install.

After you have gnomemeeting-snapshot installed, shutdown gconfd using
kill and make sure it's no longer running.  Then install the
gnomemeeting-snapshot schemas into Gconf:

$ gnomemeeting-config-tool-snapshot --install-schemas

I think I did that as root, but I'm not sure why now.  It was 3:00 am
when I was doing all this.  I might try it as a normal user if I did it
again.

That was it for me.  After all that, when I started gconf-editor I could
see all the new keys in apps/gnomemeeting-snapshot and Gnomemeeting
started without error.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
