Comment 1 Cosimo Cecchi 2009-02-14 14:39:24 UTC 
Thanks for the report,

I tried this both with Fedora rawhide live and Ubuntu Jaunty live. I get the same error in Fedora, but it works just fine in Ubuntu.

I think this happens in rawhide due to a bug in Fedora's gnome-utils.spec file, which prevents installation of the logview GConf schemas. Note that the logview schemas file has been moved in the 2.25 cycle and you might need to update the location in the spec file.

Closing as NOTGNOME, please reopen if you see a fault in my analysis.
