 Posted: Fri Jun 17, 2005 2:16 am Post subject: gnome network settings dialog missing |
 |
|
Hi!
Today I updated from gnome 2.8 to the new gnome 2.10 metapackage, but now I'm missing the network settings dialog like displayed here or here in background.
gnome-system-tools 1.2.0-r1 are installed, but I nowhere can find this dialog 
Any hints? |

Just wanted to second that problem.
I also upgraded Gnome 2.8 to Gnome 2.10 on June 10th and the network-admin is gone somehow.
I checked the source tarball for gnome-system-tools package and it seems that the code for network-admin looks to be in place. So, why on earth it hasn't been emerged properly?
:puzzled:

Well, this is kind of odd, but in the /usr/portage/app-admin/gnome-system-tools/gnome-system-tools-1.2.0-r1.ebuild file, there is a following part:
| Code: | ...
# --enable-disks is not (still) supported for Gentoo
G2CONF="${G2CONF} --enable-boot --enable-services --disable-network"
if ! use nfs && ! use samba; then
G2CONF="${G2CONF} --disable-shares"
fi
... |
The strange thing is that --disable-network switch. Effectively it creates an entry in the package's Makefile:
| Code: | ...
VERSION = 1.2.0
gnomelocaledir = ${prefix}/${DATADIRNAME}/locale
interfacesdir = /usr/share/gnome-system-tools/interfaces
mkdir_p = mkdir -p -- .
pixmapsdir = /usr/share/gnome-system-tools/pixmaps
scriptsdir =
boot_SUBDIR = boot
#network_SUBDIR = network
services_SUBDIR = services
time_SUBDIR = time
users_SUBDIR = users
#disks_SUBDIR = disks
shares_SUBDIR = shares
... |
Just look at this #network_SUBDIR = network line. Now I understand that using this ebuild there's no chance that network-admin would be built.
I think I feel like filling a bug report...

Until a new ebuild comes out, you can change two files so that when you emerge gnome-system-tools, that it enables the feature:
First:
vim /usr/portage/app-admin/gnome-system-tools/gnome-system-tools-1.2.0-r1.ebuild
and edit --disable-network to --enable-network
Second:
run md5sum on the ebuild and also run ls -l on the ebuild, copying the md5sum value and taking note of what the file size is of the modified ebuild.
Open up /usr/portage/app-admin/gnome-system/tools/Manifest and replace the md5sum and filesize for the modified ebuild.
I can confirm that after enabling the flags, my system hasn't broken yet.

Ok, that would do the trick in the short term. I did something similar, and now network-admin is back 
However, the method you described is a pure hack  and I would discourage it. For my system I created an overlay (which I think is better!), so my work will survive the next 'emerge --sync'. [Hint: read about ebuild tool and setting PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable in make.conf]
We really should wait for a new ebuild of gnome-system-tools. There is a reason for it - namely network-admin doesn't exactly work the "Gentoo way". See the following bug #86671 to understand better.

I dont even have an admin interface all I get is proxy settings.
Since Bertaboy went into more detail I will do it his way. So far I have changed the ebuild and modified the md5 values , but to no result. Im guessing its in your next step were the changes reveal themselves in the UI. When you say you enable the flags, what do you actually do in more detail?

Did you remember to re-emerge the package after modifying the files?

Hi, with the command ebuild is a "better" way to do the md5 sum
after you save the .build
# ebuild gnome-system-tools1.x.x.ebuild digest
this will update the Manifest automatically
and then
#emerge gnome-system-tools1.x.x
and that's it |
