failing to perform "dconf Editor" I discovered that I have to change the execute permissions to the file user, in my directoy : /home/angelo_dev/.config/dconf./user ----- -rw-r--r--. 1 angelo_dev angelo_dev 7630 Oct 13 09:53 user ----- I ran the command [root @ zorro dconf] # chmod a + x user and after I made this I saw the changement: ----- -rwxr-xr-x. 1 angelo_dev angelo_dev 7630 Oct 13 09:53 user ----- however "dconf Editor" doesn't yet worked..
So I again tested the permissions for the file user and I was amazed to see that the file user once again had not permission to be executed.. ----- -rw-r--r--. 1 angelo_dev angelo_dev 7630 Oct 13 10:07 user -----
I can think that running "dconf Editor" change permission to file user...
What I can do ?
I ask some help as I am yet beginner with Linux..
Thank you Regards
Angelo

What makes you think you need execute permission on that file? It's a database storage file.
I Michael,
thank you for answering me ...

I read this post that suggested this try: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=166240
------------------ now I investigate better the problem and I cat think my problem is a knew bug: *Bug 956306* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=956306 - gnome shell freezes when window is present from su session https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=956306
*Bug 975521* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975521 - unable to change settings using dconf https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975521
-----------------
But in the while I got another problem:
I tried to re install dconf-edit ... I did it because I found a more recent version... dconf-editor-0.15.0-4mgc30.x86_64.rpm So I removed the old version but I was not able to install the new..
This is the output that I got:

----------------------------------
In this way now I have another problem because I am newbie and I am not able to manage the problem to resolve the dependencies for the re installation of a new version of dcond-edit ...
What you can suggest me to do ?
still thank you
Regards
Angelo

That will need further examination in bugzilla and in something else than GNOME Shell for comparison. You may be right that it is the bug you've linked, but then you could ask yourself why you don't run the program as your normal user.

That one says mode 644 which is _not_ executable, but only rw for user and readable for anyone else.

That one is _older_ than what Fedora 20 ships: 0.18.0
So I removed the old version but I was not able to install the new..
That's because you've not downloaded all packages you need. Either you point Yum at package repositories to solve such dependencies, or download all needed packages yourself and install them _at once_ with either Yum or RPM.
[root@zorro dconf]# yum localinstall /home/angelo_dev/Downloads/dconf-editor-0.15.0-4mgc30.x86_64.rpm
You're missing the "dconf" package of the same version. This is just dconf-editor.

thank you Michael,
this tread continue on "problem with Dependency Resolution"
