Description

Installed Guake 0.3 on Ubuntu Hardy amd64 from  https://launchpad.net/~misery/+archive?field.name_filter=guake

Whenever I try to start Guake I get an error saying "Guake can not init!\n\nGconf Error.\nHave you installed guake.schemas properly?".

I checked and guake.schemas does exist under /usr/etc/gconf/schemas/

Hi,

I think this bug was introduced by the packager, when installing the gconf schema. The following line was extracted from the postinst script in that package. 

gconftool-2 --install-schema-file=/usr/etc/gconf/schemas/guake.schemas

I think the schema should be installed in /etc/gconf/schemas not in /usr.

In our debian package, we don't have a postinst script, we prefered to just set --sysconfdir=/etc in debian/rules when ./configure script is called.

I'll close this bug thinking that you should report it to the ubuntu packager, but if you think we can help in some way, please reopen it.

Thanks.
