After attempting to upgrade my happy Gnome 1.4+ via Ximian's RedCarpet (from the dev channel), my Gnome is no longer happy. I wait for almost two minutes for it to boot, or any Gnome app I use takes the same amount of time to even start (gnome-terminal, gedit, gconf-editor - etc etc etc) as well as all my fonts in Gnome are freaking out - they never stay the same - and in trying to change fonts, I'm constantly faced with the application crashing. I can get them to live for a few minutes by deleting my ~/home/usernamegoeshere/.fonts.cache, but a few minutes later, all the fonts are freaked again and I'm back to square one. I get this wonderful error as well when I'm run gconf-sanity-check-1: Please contact your system administrator to resolve the following problem: Failed to get a file lock: Failed to lock '/root/.gconfd/lock/ior': probably another process has the lock, or your operating system has NFS file locking misconfigured, or a hard NFS client crash caused a stale lock (Resource temporarily unavailable) ...and I don't use NFS... Can anyone give a clue to the clueless, please?
