GNOME 2.22 will have the Metacity compositor available.

Description:
GNOME 1.x is no longer supported by upstream GNOME developers.
Maintaining GNOME 1.x adds unnecessary complexity to the Gentoo GNOME
developers' workload. Some of the contributing factors are security
vulnerabilities, as-needed fixes, and general breakages over time due to
lower ...

No, this is not a bug.

The issue is that cairo can be used as a library for a server. There is no need to build X on a server if you do not use it. When building cairo on a workstation, you should be building cairo with the X useflag. Additionally, you would want support for pdfs, pngs, and svgs on ...

Can you run it from the console with verbose/debug output and see if it actually prints out on console?

The splash screen issue is a tricky one. It seems that bonobo-activation-server is dying and causing the splash screen to hang around. I dont know what exactly is the cause of that since I cant reproduce it.

echo "x11-libs/cairo X glitz pdf png svg" >> /etc/portage/package.use ; emerge --oneshot cairo ; emerge gnome-screensaver

Do you have dbus running? /etc/init.d/dbus status

You're welcome

Yes, try rebuilding gst-plugins-good and then gst-plugins-gonf. Also, please check if you have /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstgconfelements.so (use either portage-utils or gentoolkit).

gst-inspect-0.10 gconfaudiosink should then state that its not there.

Also, can you rebuild liboil, and then re-emerge gstreamer, gst-plugins-gconf ?

The package is the gst-plugins-gconf

I have it installed on that motherboard and processor combination, and it runs great.

The configuration file for gamin is ~/.gaminrc for per-user settings. See http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/config.html for additional details

LD_PRELOAD the needed libraries from the bundled install.

Well, in theory, yes, since it means that you cant take advantage of any controller specific feature. However, there really is no performance loss (or so it seemed to me).

If you are using lilo, make sure that you add an append line to the image. The append line should point to the root
That is just an example, make sure that you change the root device according to your own setup.

Passing all-generic-ide when booting up the Gentoo live cd (2006.1) works.

Most of the hardware works, though beware that if your motherboard has a JMicron IDE controller, then you will not be able to boot the livecd off of it. In order to get that to work you will need to pass the all-generic-ide parameter to the kernel when booting.

Also, you will want to use the 2.6.18 ...

I think that switching should be quite safe. You should start off with specifying -qt -kde in your USE flags (/etc/make.conf). Then once you have emerged GNOME, you can search for packages that are installed for KDE, and remove those (using gentoolkit's equery). You could, after that is done, check ...

The information stored with userlocales is for libc, not for the general system. It is the list of encodings that libc supports.

HTH.

Well, if you are using version 5 there is an option to sync the guest time to the host time, which should alleviate the issue you are facing. I think that the post that you may be looking for is the following:

I am not sure how helpful this would be, but you can try to set the LINGUAS variable in /etc/make.conf for the languages you really want.

Can you try running azuerus from the command line and seeing if it gives you any output there?

compnerd

Can you please file a bug on http://bugs.gentoo.org after checking that a bug doesnt exist for it.

Thanks.

I have multiple PAM-less systems that I run currently. None of them have any issues...and now that GDM has been fixed, I have everything working exactly like I like it.
