Configuration server couldn't be contacted: CORBA error

[azop]

I upgraded to the latest Ubuntu packages for Hardy.  openvpn wasn't working for me (the key was vulnerable so I renewed it but it still wouldn't start) so I restarted the server itself hoping to clear up any cache.  When the server restarted I can no longer log into ebox:

An internal error has ocurred. This is most probably a bug, relevant information can be found in the logs.

ebox.log shows:

2010/01/14 08:28:02 WARN> Union.pm:50 EBox::Types::Union::new - Union type cannot be optional. To use the non-defined value, choose EBox::Types::Union::Text

Check your free disk space please, and run:

sudo /etc/init.d/ebox apache restart

I did that...the problem still exists.

Ok, try this:

sudo pkill gconf
sudo pkill -9 gconf

sudo /etc/init.d/ebox apache restart


how much free disk space do you have?

[azop]

I did that...the problem still remains.  Disk space:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1             1.8T  143G  1.7T   8% /
varrun               1005M  1.3M 1004M   1% /var/run

I'm toying with upgrading to 1.2.  Would recommend this is the current (slightly broken) state?

Thanks

I dont know what's happening and it's difficult for me to troubleshoot it from here. This might sound a bit radical, but how about a reboot? Actually, I would like to put my hands on it to figure out what's happening...

So you have upgraded from where to where?

I've rebooted twice

I upgraded what was in Hardy...I don't believe I used a PPA.


Actually I can't PM you...can you email me?  chall <at> callawayso <dot> org

I noticed that gconf2 was upgraded recently.  Would that have any known issues?

I tried to upgrade to 1.2 and had this error starting ebox-network:
