Gnome 2.12

I just reinstalled gnome-terminal and now I get this error when trying to "Edit Profile...".

The file "/var/tmp/portage/gnome-terminal-2.12.0/image//usr/share/gnome-terminal/glade/gnome-terminal.glade2" is missing. This indicates that the application is installed incorrectly.

Anyone have similar issues or know how to fix it? Thanks!

even so, this release has won me over (i had defected to xfce). on my system with my (probably very stupid) CFLAGS and USE options, this is the most stable gnome i've ever had. kind of ironic when it's hard masked.

xcompmgr is giving me stable (so far) 3d niceness, the clipboard is finally behaving reasonably (retaining data after windows are closed), the menus are finally editable (and smeg emerged without a hitch)...bliss.

no doubt a monstrous data-obliterating crash is just around the corner...

As far as my person is concerned, I have those following very irritating pbs:

An issue with the gnome-volume-manager or Nautilus or Foo, related to umounting locked volume.
We should be able to read video DVDs 'out of the box' with Totem.

There will be more...

I just upgraded sound-juicer and I'm having the same issue I had with gnome-terminal...

(sound-juicer:27121): libglade-WARNING **: could not find glade file '/var/tmp/portage/sound-juicer-2.12.2/image//usr/share/sound-juicer/sound-juicer.glade'

Why is it making the glade install path that location?

ok, i have found a couple of situations in which having xcompmgr running will cause problems in gnome 2.12. adding a gnome application to the panel crashes the panel (custom launchers are fine), but much worse, calling the "options" dialog from (ximian) openoffice brings X down completely. this is frustrating because apart from this, the system is quick and stable even with shadows and transparency. occasionally when i scroll a window quickly it "smears" instead of scrolling properly, but i only have to scroll it more slowly to correct the problem...however, having a menu item that i need to remember never to touch (or the whole session goes down instantly) is not really acceptable.

i see there's a metacity update in portage...i'll see if that helps...otherwise i guess it's back to boring flatland i go.

I'm having the same issue of help files being linked wrong also. Someone else has to be having this issue!

In case you haven't noticed, it's been moved to unstable now.

Emerging... For every new release of gnome, I seem to spend more and more time unmasking packages...

Sometimes I almost miss the clueless days when a simple "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -uD gnome" would've done it... :roll:

(Note, don't do that.)

hehe me too!!!

Hmm, so where did my very much used function of right-clicking the desktop and having the alternative to start a terminal go?
Is there a way to put it in there somehow? (I'm not very good at this... )

Other than that, it seems to be very much faster than 2.10.

i'm too lazy to unmask everything. i'll probably wait till its amd64 not ~amd64

any idea how long that will be? i'm thinking couple weeks because its already 2.12.1. in two weeks gnome will probably release 2.12.2.

I already broke it and had some fun downgrading again. I'll wait for stable.
