Hi. I'm probably going to have to start a new thread for this problem I've been having since upgrading to 2.24, but I thought I would run it by you guys first in case this was a known issue.
After upgrading, whenever I click on a menu item in the first group of the Places menu (Home Folder, Desktop, or anything under Bookmarks), Gnome tries to open the directory with file-roller instead of nautilus. Running "gnome-open file:///" also starts file-roller instead of nautilus. Using the Computer icon on the desktop opens nautilus as expected, however. I've only found a couple of similar issues, and they were caused by MIME problems and multiple file managers, but my MIME configuration looks correct, and I'm only using nautilus. Has anyone else run into this issue or something similar? Thanks! |

I figured out what the issue was. The following line somehow got into my ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list: | Code: | | inode/directory=file-roller.desktop; |
I have no idea what, if any, connection this has with my upgrade to 2.24. It seems unlikely that the upgrade was the direct cause of this because other users on my system were not affected. However, I didn't put that line in there, and I'm sure it wasn't there before I upgraded. Maybe it was just some weird fluke. Hope this helps someone else anyway. |

3) my themes seem a bit messed. The title on the title bar is not centred and I am missing the window close/maximize/minimize buttons on the top right.
someone above had my second problem. I use gdm to start my session, how would I implement the solution above? or is there another solution? |
For the keyboard layout I cheat and add tell the X server to ignore HAL and use the legacy configuration for keyboards and mice. I have this in the ServerLayout section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen 1"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
|
The key line above is the Option "AutoAddDevices" "false".
I have a Section "Screen" with Identifier "Screen 1", a Section "InputDevice" with Identifier "Mouse1" to configure the mouse, and a Section "InputDevice" with Identifier "Keyboard1" to configure the keyboard. (The identifiers are arbitrary and don't matter as long as the cross-references match up.)
The "proper" way to do it is to configure HAL, but trying to figure out the horrible XML files it uses drove me mad!

i hit this and the /dev/dsp busy error!!!
to fix the gnome-settings-daemon crash add
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
exec gnome-session
to .xinitec , and for the dsp error if anyone is getting that, go to
/etc/esd/esd.conf
and change
auto_spawn=0
spawn_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 2
spawn_wait_ms=100
# default options are used in spawned and non-spawned mode
#default_options=
to
auto_spawn=0
#spawn_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 2
spawn_wait_ms=100
# default options are used in spawned and non-spawned mode
#default_options=
default_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 2
and reboot and you shouldn't get the /dev/dsp busy error again

Sorry for my eng
Hi... My Gnome 2.24.3 don't remember the positions and sizes of various programs like gedit, termina, file-roller etc. Every time they start from left upper corner with default size...
Why Gnome don't remember the last position and size? |

Same happens for me in gnome-2.26.1
and using gedit 2.26.1
[EDIT]It appears this only happens if I run the application from the shell. In this case from gnome-terminal.[/EDIT]

are you using gnome-session-2.24 ? If so, that is your problem. |

I haven't found it being mentioned so i'll just ask. Is Ctrl+Alt+Del working for you guy? It is set to logout on standard which is just what i want except it doesn't work even though being set.

Sorry, me again.
About the probem I'm trying to report, I can now say that the most important thing is
on the gconf side. I can run gnome for a while and then when trying to start a stuff
handled by gconf, I get the following (translated from french) :
"error when contacting the configuration server : possible reasons : you have not activated
TCP/IP for ORBit or invalid NFS locks are present due to system crash ..."
I was previously using gnome 2.20 on a 2007 Gentoo, and it is still relevant.
What is the problmem with gconf by now ?
ps: of course I'm using an NFS mounted home directory.
Cheers.

Hi...
Gnome 2.26.1 working fine here, but only yesterday I upgraded to gdm-2.26.1 and boy, is it ever so ugly now!
I used to get to type in my username in emergence theme, but now I get a bummy chooser that I don't want. I've looked up the config stuff, but gdmsetup doesn't appear to be installed anymore and the config files are present in /etc/gdm/ as well as in /etc/X11/gdm/ which means I don't know where to put stuff.
Also, the keyboard layout defaults to US, whereas I've got a German one.
Any help?

gnome-2.26 has been working and stable (for me) for several months now. I am using 2.26.2 mostly before that I installed 2.24 last November.

Yeah. I'm pretty much running mostly ~x86 Gnome here as well. Do you have any pointers on the GDM issue? Did the config dir move?

2.24.1 worked just fine over here as well... Try upgrading to 2.26.1 and you'll see what I mean.

Guys, I want to upgrade to GNOME 2.26 but I have a (mostly) stable system. What is the best method to get the new release? The "twopointtwentysix" version should be really stable by now (I guess)...

It does work here as well. It's just that I get a graphical login chooser, where previously there was none.

Well that depends. Do you want just the 2.26.x?
As for what packages you'd need, you'd best try the following:
First update your system (I assume you have done so already)
| Quote: | | emerge -avuDN @system @world && emerge @preserved-rebuild && dispatch-conf |
Then get the list of packages that you'll need to install for gnome (or you may use gnome-light if you can live without some of the stuff)
| Quote: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -1Dp gnome |
And that should get you a list of what to put in /etc/portage/package.keywords.
Then you'd have to keyword all relevant packages in there like so:
| Quote: | | <=foo-bar/package-2.26.99 |
If I've forgotten anything, feel free to correct me, anyone...

Yes, I just want GNOME to be in testing. I tried as you suggested with
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge -1Dp gnome
but there are many blockers and it would upgrade also many packages that I would like to keep stable.

Hmm... Maybe the "D"eep option is to blame. Try without that...
