I thought I would post it here as GConf is a fun part to delve into of the IT.

I posted a screenshot of it running on my N800.

It seems to be fully hildonised.

If you find any good edits, please post them here!

Yup, definitely neat to have it back, thanks to Ed, and to Faheem for the heads-up !

Re: gconf editor for os2008 (not by me)
 

Hi
I'm a Newbie with a question about Gconf-Editor.
I'm running the latest OS on a N800 and have Gconf-Editor installed and working fine, "I think." I say this only because when I run it and look in the apps section, its shows programs that I have un-installed and are NOT listing in the App Manager. Is there some way to correct this or do I just Un-install, then Re-Install Gconf-editor to get a new listing?

Re: gconf editor for os2008 (not by me)
 

There is nothing wrong. Settings for uninstalled applications are not normally removed.

Re: gconf editor for os2008 (not by me)
 

Thanks, just checking.

I had this app before I re-flashed my N800 but when I go to the link above it gets as far as loading the Application Manager and preparing to install and I get an error "Unable to download gconf-editor Application package not found". I went the the application Home page but could not find the NIT version. Anyone know where it can be downloaded from?

Re: gconf editor for os2008 (not by me)
 

I believe it's in extras these days, so (with that enabled) it should show up in the app manager.

Re: gconf editor for os2008 (not by me)
 

Yes, I needed it for diablo so I took the time to upload the chinook into diablo extras so it should be there for sure :)

Re: gconf editor for os2008 (not by me)
 

What is the Catalog details for the extras you are talking about because I have all my catalogs enabled but no gconf-editor

Re: gconf editor for os2008 (not by me)
 

There's no gconf-editor in Diablo Extras.

Re: gconf editor for os2008 (not by me)
 

Damn! You're right, my apologies. I did upload to diablo extras-devel but I never promoted to extras it seems...

Re: gconf editor for os2008 (not by me)
 

so what is the address for that respository?

Re: gconf editor for os2008 (not by me)
 

I never got the answer to my question "Whats the address for the repository that contains gconf-editor?" I needed that utility badly to fix a problem I was having.

So, with much sweat I did some searching in all the repositories I could get addresses for and found the answer myself and here it is for anyone who has the same need or want I did. Add or enable the following catalog to your application Manager:

chinook extras

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ chinook free

Remember to refresh the Application Manager before browsing for the program.

hmm, it sefems that the doc text is somtimmes folded beyond the edge of the screen...

Re: gconf editor for os2008 (not by me)
 

In fact there's a version for Diablo in
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ free non-free

I don't know why it didn't make it to the Extras repository. (I also don't know if there's any difference between the Chinook and Diablo versions.)

Re: gconf editor for os2008 (not by me)
 

I uploaded Ed Bartosh's chinook version to -devel. Functionality wise, it's the same - I just uploaded it to extras-devel because I hated adding the chinook repo to install it ;). Regarding extras, I never bothered promoting it because I feel it should be Ed Bartosh's decision (although, I do not think he would care if I did promote it as he's got it in chinook extras...)...

Re: gconf editor for os2008 (not by me)
 

that was the answer I the question I posted in number 14 but never got a response.

Thank you for the address to the latest and (hopefully) greatest :)
