/usr/libexec/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256

Hi All, Today while I was working on hadoop, I have changed many file permissions to make it work,For some purpose I had to restart my 64bit Fedora 14.I found that my system got hanged and a pop was showing with this error : "/usr/libexec/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256"  and I could not able to log into my account.

I got the solution it is due to file permission in /tmp directory.So,I changed the file permission of /tmp directory to 777 and now it is working properly.

    Hi Faruk da,

    I too got an error while booting , "could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm. ICEauthority", followed by the error you mentioned above.

    What did things right for me is this,

    1. Get root access, type on the terminal

    su
    Enter root password when asked

    2. Did what you mentioned above.


    3. And,


    chown -R root:root /var/lib/gdm
    chmod -R 777 /var/lib/gdm

    4. Reboot

    Thank you very much!!!

    Just ran into this on Oracle Enterprise (After moving /tmp to it's own mount point). The permissions went from 777 (On the original /tmp) to 755 (default from umask) for the mount point I created. Resetting to 777 did the trick.
    Thanks!
