Testing needed: Gnome 2.4

torradan · Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2003 12:14 pm Post subject: Testing needed: Gnome 2.4

The ebuilds are out for Gnome 2.4

If some brave volunteers would like to help test it out with me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

A couple of notes:

- apm will cause you grief. put "-apm" in your USE flags to bypass this.

- A couple of older gnome packages may block the upgrade. The two culprits I know of so far are gnome-utils and bonobo-activation. If you come across these, you can emerge unmerge them both, and then you will be fine.

Please let me know on here, in email, or on irc if you have any problems, successes, concerns.

Thanks!

I tried to emerge it today but got shutdown with a sandbox violation on nautilus. I've been getting a lot of these lately. See my earlier post inappropriately labeled "broken gst-plugins". Surely I'm not the only one that's seeing this. I've been circumventing it for now by doing SANDBOX_DISABLED="1". I restarted the emerge for Gnome and now it's not complaining but I'm a little concerned that I have to keep defeating the sandbox just to get by. Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?

sandbox seems to be looking for a particular file from perl, and it's not finding it for whatever reason

Bug 28211 <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28211> talks a little more about it.

Yea, I looked at that thread before, weeve. It doesn't appear that anyone really knows what the problem is except that it might be perl. I haven't seen it on my x86 boxen, just the sparc.

I got b0rked on gnome-session with it not finding gconf-sanity-check-2.
Resumed gnome emerge and b0rked later on that again.
Re-emerged gconf and it finished ok.
Though when invoking gnome i don't have any menus (probably from gconf emerge cleaning up all the schemas/crap that other packages did).
Otherwise it works.

More information, as related to bug 28211.

When for a test I did emerge kde, I got this on a couple kde modules.

The builds went OK, forcing the install with ebuild went OK. The specific
file --- /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/base.pm --- is there, and the error message (same
as in #28211) was useless:

Not sure why, but my emerge of gnome 2.4 installed without a hitch. I haven't tried running it yet, but I got none of the errors everyone else is seeing.

Hi,

I ran into a few minor annoyances. Not bugs really. First of all, I had 2 packages that blocked the emerge. No biggie, I emerged -C those 2. So then it did his thing for a while. After that I got my first error, I had unmerged bonobo-activation, which is needed by another package now. But it's now part of libbonobo, so I emerged this one, then started back the gnome emerge. I left it run all night. When I checked this morning, second minor "bug", way back when I had emerged mozilla, I didnt use gtk2 in my USE flags. So I had to re-emerge mozilla. Other than that. It seems to compile nicely.
