I am actually using the gnome-light package, but for whatever reason when I emerge -vap gnome-light vs gnome I get different results. gnome-light complains that gdm is blockign gnome-session. gnome doesn't. both are attempting to install the same gnome-session so there looks like somethign screwed ...

yeah I think I have done that with everything....but I must have missed something I performed an emerge-uDn gnome-light and everythign installed but I am still having the issue where control-center-2.22 (which isn't isntalled) is blocking gnome-settings-daemon is there a way to get a list of all ...

hmm....well python-updater is bombing while trying to install some gnome packages..... any idea how to resolve this?


These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.31 USE="ipv6 python readline -bootstrap -build -debug ...

I'd rather not mix and just replace. Is there a doc that details how to go about updating python?

so it looks like this did work. But again is there an issue with python 2.5 and gentoo or were my problems a result of something else?

Well I am running that now, but pygtk did not come up as one that needed to be rebuilt. It is instead building the following:

=dev-python/dbus-python-0.82.4 =dev-python/gdata-1.0.8 =dev-python/pygobject-2.14.1 =dev-python/pyrex-0.9.6.4 =app-admin/gamin-0.1.9-r1 =gnome-extra/libgsf-1.14.7 =x11-libs ...

I am attempting to update my system and when I get to avahi I ma getting the following error. I thought this was referring to pygtk, but that is installed. I had python 2.5 installed, but have since removed it and am using python 2.4 ( not sure if this makes a difference, but figured the info can't ...

I am trying to update a gnome-light system from 2.20 to 2.22 and I am getting the following error when I try to emerge gnome-light

So seriously I can't believe there hasn't been any development on this, not even in unstable? Is there any chance of getting an ebuild to install epiphany with webkit?

I am running in a gnome environment and have installed lyx along with qt but for whatever reason lyx looks very poor. Is there something else that needs to be done to get lyx to use the qt3 libraries? I have also seen elsewhere (ubuntu) mention of lyx-gtk is this debian specific?

So this is still my case, I wonder if this has something to do with the order in which processes are killed when I login/logout since pulseaudio is running per user. If I logout does pulseaudio get killed before the system is attempting to play the sound? Any ideas woudl be appreciated.

so actually my router is not setup as you say....I don't have a section that says anything about natting...here is my current configs (which do specify something for http)

title [ Custom to Allow RSYNC High IN rules ]

begin
RulesDropFrom192
drop from addr %LANADDR%:%LANMASK% >> done, alert 0 [WAN ...

so you have it running as a service?

Do you get the login/logout sounds? for whatever reason I get all the other sounds but not those.

I did not, I will give just setting the other up when I sit down in front of the box again and let you know how it turns out

is there any reason the latest version of Gnome System Tools available is 2.14 when they are way past that? Can anyone suggest any other gnome tools for System administration?

not sure why they'd be different, but mine has all the icons....

it was actually a combo of both, my router was dropping incoming and outgoing requests, thanks for the tip!

I am not sure what you are referring to, but if it's the PulseAudio apps mine have icons in the Gnome menus.

Is there anything I need to do other than emerge tracker with the deskbar and applet use flags in order to get deskbar to use the tracker indexes? Right now I seem to not be getting any tracker results from deskbar.

hmmm....I have both of those fwding to my current IP and still no dice, is there a chance that error means something else?

Think I got my answer:

As of 0.8.8-1 libao contains a pulseaudio plugin, previously available
separately. This causes errors if you already have libao-pulse:

is it still necessary to do
in /etc/libao.conf

I previously had pulse audio installed, but during my last emerge -uDN world it conflicted with libao. I removed it and was going to try and re-emerge libao-pulse later, but I sitll have this problem. I see libao is a req for libao-pulse but I dont' see any docs indicating that this new version ...

What port is used for this? I want to enable port fwding on my router so I can use this....right now I have to use emerge-webrsync. Right now I am getting this error when I try to emerge --sync

I am not using KDE, so I can't speak on how to do it in KDE. I did this with Gnome, so I just added it to my gnome-session. I'd assume it would be basically the same thing in KDE though.

I ended up not starting this as a service and instead start it on a per user basis like is recommended on PulseAudio's site.
