Gnome 2.30

[d2_racing]

GPO is pretty useful, it has Funtoo and Gentoo packages.

One question. Is it possible to set transparency on open dialogue windows using metacity 2.30.1?
I can set transparency on panels and the background on the terminal window, but not e.g. on inactive windows etc.

Òne question.

what's the best way to install Gnome 2.30 on stable arch.
I emerged the overlay gnome
But when I do emerge gnome . it's still finds the 2.26 branch.

You would need to at least unmask it, and possibly keyword it in /etc/portage/package.unmask and package.keywords. Usually there's Documentation in the overlay.

However, since gnome-2.30 isn't yet in ~Arch, I would have to question trying it on stable. It might work out OK, but there also might be plenty of other deps from ~Arch which you would also need to unmask/keyword. A lot of trouble (unless Gnome is your main desktop environment), and might result in other packages depending on Gnome having problems.

If anyone has 2.30 overlay running on stable without any problems, please post.

Anyone else having issues with the lock down editor in gnome 2.30? For some reason Lock Down Editor fails silently.

Xsession errors reveal the following:

lTraceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pessulus", line 23, in <module>
import bugbuddy
ImportError: No module named bugbuddy

Already ran python-updater but no go.

Edit: Down grading dev-python/gnome-python-desktop-base to version 2.28.0 and installing dev-python/bug-buddy-python solves the issue.

Additional: Anyone notice that when udisk tries to mount media a window pops up containing the relevant folder but then vanishes quickly leaving you no choice but to double click on the media or select from panel? Also, is anyone else having issues with ejecting CD/DVDs, seems to say I don't have enough authorization?

Hello,

I updated my box to ~amd64.

Can anyone tell me now what's the best way to emerge 2.30 ?

Can anyone tell me now what's the best way to emerge 2.30

Code: Select all

layman -a gnome
emerge -uDN world

maybe?

Moved from Desktop Environments to Gentoo Chat.

[roelof]

XQYZ,

Does this work when you don't have Gnome installed ?
I work wih a clean install of Gentoo with only a stage3 tarball and X installed.

I am running on stable and have just unmasked the necessary packages. Works fine, not had any problems.

EDIT: For roelof (and on a clean install), I put my approach earlier: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-62 ... ml#6262214 In order to avoid all the entries going into the world file, I wonder if its best to install gnome-2.28 first using the meta package. Don't know if other have a view on that...

Hello Monsm,

How did you know which packages to unmask ?

Hello Monsm,

Roelof

You just beat me to posting. I had 2.28 from before and unmasked first what was in gnome-base with a 2.30 entry.

there were two packages that required telepathy which had no unmasked ebuild I commented them out.

I emerged tango-icon-theme and tango-icon-theme-extras and the dejavu fonts. Then set the terminal fonts to dejavu-sans-mono and it is a real NICE desktop Working on flas support.

I installed Gnome 2.30 with this list http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324077.

In the last days the panel does not show up on the first login, if I kill the X-server (ctrl+alt+backspace) and login again all seems to work fine.

Does somebody has an idea what I can do or where I can search for the problem?

thanks.

[bus_drivr]

I'd re- 'emerge gdm' as a start. It's the login app at start if it did not get rebuilt during the install this could be it.

Ran into the rebuild all drivers issue when changing system to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" later since it upgraded my xorg-server version. However:

I now have Gnome2.30 and everything seems to be working without hald I have to check the automounting and see if will play dvd movies though. It is still installed but not in /etc/runlevels/* and does not start.

Wireless lan works and maintains a connections will check a usb drive later too

[justXi]

It seems that the panel was blocked by the "gnome-volume-control" which hangs. After rebuilding als gstreamer related stuff it seems to work.

[bus_drivr]

telepathy ebuild pulled in in recent updates installed the missing components above. When gnome-base/gnome-2.30.2 was added. still no joy with youtube and WebM/html5 May work with opera which is not installed here.

[rpil]

I have Gnome 2.30.2, after one day of compile! All seems to working fine, but as I see, the keyboard indicator is missing! "Gnome library" says: "The GNOME Keyboard Indicator has been removed from GNOME Applets. If you use more than one keyboard layout, the GNOME Keyboard Indicator will now automatically appear in your tray via gnome-system-daemon".
I rebooted my system, changed languages, but nothing happened.
How can I bring it back to my panel?

[rpil]

I added a third language in my keyboard layout, but no indicator appeared! Please, help someone!

[rpil]

Ok, I found it.
Right click on panel --> Add to Panel --> Notification Area --> Add
