Great work folks. Now, I have not seen any screenshots as yet on this thread. If you are using the latest gnome release would you kindly post a couple of screenshots each so that the rest can indulge in the fantasy prior to compilation or breaking their gentoo? Many thanks.

I dunno, i want to try the new gnome-2.3.3 but im a bit nervous after what happened to my comp the last time i tried it, and i just finished getting gnome-2.3.2 back into a usable state.

hmm... maybe I'll just stay one version behind current and thus hopefully have some measure of security.

..enless someone can convince me otherwise :twisted:

Okay, GTK+ 2.2.2 is just evil... I hate it very much.

Ah, it's been awhile since I've posted a screenshot anyways so this is what GNOME 2.3.3 looks like on my machine.

Ximian Industrial GTK2 and Metacity themes, the icons are Ximian South. Background is also from Ximian, called Flowerpower I think.

Not doing anything useful right now and as you can see I still lack a few apps - I haven't gotten around to compiling a working version of Evolution 1.4 yet fx.

Lovechild,
First off, thanks for the recognition. Secondly, could you post a screenshot of the 2.3.3 development splash screen? Matt and I currently believe that it's a bit misleading to put either a Gentoo or an official gnome splash screen into the package. It's a breakmygentoo version of gnome, complete with a lot of patches we've collected that you just won't find all together in the same place. As a result, using the default gnome splash could be misleading. I would still like to see it. I've also done two concept splash screens for a Breakmygentoo Gnome Splash to signify that you are running our unique version of the devel builds. You will find both of them at:

http://www.breakmygentoo.net/ebuilds/gnomeart/

They are very obviously labeled. One is a play on my noia splash screen, and the other is just a quick throw together with barry the cow and the breakmygentoo text and a simple gnome foot. I personally like the play on the noia splash screen, but then again, I love that splash

Feedback is appreciated, but we do find it very misleading to put either a gentoo gnome splash or an official devel splash as we're so heavily patched

Our splashscreen should include the text "Things that go boom in the night"

Lovechild ..... That's great....things that go boom in the night....the noia splash is suited for that at the bottom of it.....lol...

yeah...making socio-political statements in computers I find only brings division...that's why I avoid stating my political standpoint in these forums or anywhere on the web. But let's get this thread back on topic...it's starting to drift off-topic fast

I just heard of an interesting patch that you guy might want to consider for inclusion with nautilus-2.3.3

The multiple root patch

It allows the user to have multiple root in tree view, so for example a tree view that starts at their home dir as opposed to '/'

There is also this patch which modify's the tree view so that it follows whats actually happening in the main window.

Both patches are by Jürg Billeter.

Thanks Jürg

So, it seems that my apps just wont work with gtk-2.2.2 installed. Nautilus starts up and draws the desktop fine, but when i start the file manager, it crashes immediately. Also gftp doesn't work. And i'm sure there are more... I've reverted back to 2.2.1, which seems to work like a charm

Anyway,

Now, Lovechild, and anyone else who's had the FILE undeclared problem or the stderr problem, bump your ORBit2 down to the 2.7.1-r1 rev, and see these problems go away.

/usr/include/orbit-2.0/orbit/GIOP/giop-recv-buffer.h includes <stdio.h>, and in fact, that's where those defines get pulled in from when compiling this failing stuff. I checked with strace, believe me.

The issue is a either a huge reorg in the way ORBit2 includes are, or a packaging mistake. I don't have a patch to fix it, as it seems to be a really ugly problem. Does someone have the expertise to fix the problem I found? Or, maybe have friends in the GNOME world? sisob?

segflaunt · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 22 May 2003 Posts: 101

Or, I suppose you can just insert #include <sdtio.h> somewhere.

segflaunt · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 22 May 2003 Posts: 101

I should have noted that /usr/include/orbit-2.0/orbit/GIOP does not even exist on ORBit2-2.7.2-r1 from breakmy. Big include reorg in ORBit2 maybe?

The first major difference in the critical path to including stdio.h is

where now in 2.7.2 <orb-core/orb-core.h> gets included instead of <GIOP/giop.h> due to the

in <orbit/orbit.h>. find /usr/include | grep GIOP shows nothing. To me, this is a major problem. Whose up for getting wasted and beating up some gnomes?

I've got two issues bugging me at the moment with gnome-2.3.3-r2...

1- I can't seem to be able to edit my icons properties... it crashes nautilus when I click on the icon on the desktop to set the emblems. I have gnome-extra-themes installed and was playing with it...

2- my nautilus-media does not show .mp3 files in view-as-Audio mode in nautilus... anyone knows what might be causing this misbehaviour?

thanks and regards,
