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

Do you know how to fix this ?

Fixed. I had something weird in my /etc/portage/profile/virtuals.

yep.
but how do I tell it NOT to install firefox ? I already use firefox-bin AND seamonkey (compiled from source)...

I'm not sure this is possible, but i wish it was. Any ideas anyone?

Yes, seamonkey is not supported upstream in fact the only supported platform is xulrunner - http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointSeventeen ... pendencies

Yep, and the code in firefox is the closest thing to a release of xulrunner-1.8.1 as you can get currently.

incorrect xulrunner is the most closest thing to xulrunner, I'm running gnome on xulrunner in the moment.

"The XULRunner 1.8.0.x series of releases are stable developer previews. They are based on the same gecko branch code as the Firefox 1.5.0.x series and they will contain all the security and stability fixes from that codebase. However, they do not contain all of the functionality that is planned for the final XULRunner releases, including code to manage application installation, uninstallation, and upgrade." (from http://wiki.mozilla.org/XULRunner:Roadmap)

Last time I checked "stable developer previews" didn't mean "Ready for wider use", but Firefox is. By release in my last post I meant "end-user-stable" release.
With other words: XULRunner is currently nearly the same as the things you find in Firefox (at least gecko-wise and that is what the depending packages needs).
And since Firefox is something that is "production-enviroment-ready", and XULRunner is not then guess the choice from a distro-view. If you read the roadmap it seems like the first one is not planned before the release of XULRunner 1.8.1 planned for the release of Firefox-2.0.

And by the way: the dependency chart you showed us for Gnome is for dev-2.17, the not the stable 2.16.

Yes, but this does not change the tendency.
And xulrunner is firefox ripped of the awful xul-interface - so what you have is essentially the same thing. If it breaks, also breaks firefox...
In fact 2.0 should be buildable on xulrunner, ending this stupid rebuilding the same thing thousand of times - I'm not sure if thunderbird will be ready for the 2.0, but the idea is to have all of them building on xulrunner.

When will Firefox be based on XULRunner?
See the XULRunner roadmap. This is scheduled for Firefox 3 (XULRunner 1.9), in the first quarter of 2007.

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XULRunner_FAQ

Edit: And all this offtopic comes from the fact that Gnome-2.16 (epiphany, yelp) needs firefox becouse of that the apps are going to be based of XULRunner which is not yet production-stable and will not be until XULRunner-1.9.1 (according to http://wiki.mozilla.org/XULRunner:Roadmap) and seamonkey seems to be too far from XULRunner to be usable when Firefox currently include things that are nearly the same as XULRunner which is what the persons asked about.

this is possible in the moment (in fact for over half an year) - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299997
[EDIT] yes, this is offtopic of course and probably we should not continue it

the fact is that gnome could be built only on top off firefox (well xulrunner also), but not on seamonkey[/EDIT]

Hello, I have the same problem on AMD64 with all precompiled applications since the upgrade to gnome 2.16. Re-emerging doesn't help. Firefox-bin, gmplayer-bin and Acrobat Reader all fail with:

Code: Select all

First `engine' section must include a `stock' section

Seems to have something to do with GTK but I don't really know where to look. Any ideas? Or will we have to wait for new binary releases (NOOOO)???

fredor · Post by **fredor** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 1:03 pm

Yes I have the same problem none of the precompiled binaries will run under Gnome-2.16.
Firefox-bin, acrobat and openoffice-bin.

Well I use all of besaid packages in the binary version and they all work under Gnome 2.16 for me.

dev0n · Post by **dev0n** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 6:07 pm

Hmmm, all binary packages are working again on my system. I just switched to one of the stock gnome themes in gnome-theme-manager and the error message went away. I still don't know the root of the problem though, because I cannot reproduce the error anymore.

custom theme engines should have a .so and .la in /emul/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/ e.g. libmurrine.so (compiled for 32-bit) and libmurrine.la should be present there.

Does anyone have any tips on why none of the themes that come with GNOME work for me? I get a lot of errors when starting gnome-theme-manager from the console and it looks like this:

Code: Select all

(gnome-theme-manager:10776): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "smooth",

This happens for mist, hcengine, industrial, smooth, glide and crux-engine. Also clearlooks. My XFCE GTK engines and themes work fine when I installed them independently, but not even emergining gtk-engines-smooth fixed the problem with that one... It seems like gnome-themes isn't installing the necessary engines, and this is a fresh install with no previous GNOME bits. Kinda strange that the errors repeat over and over in the console for some engines.

Other than that I'm really liking the new GNOME 2.16, smooth as hell.

Gnome 2.16 is great, except gnome-cups-manager refuses to build.

fredor · Post by **fredor** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 1:04 pm

I changed to the 'ClearLooks' theme and the binary programs loaded and ran fine.
Changed back to my original theme 'Crux' and binaries failed to load!!!

OddFox · Post by **OddFox** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 1:43 pm

Just in case anyone ends up needing the tip at any point in the future, I was able to fix my problem by re-emerging gnome-themes and gtk-engines after re-emerging autoconf-wrapper and automake-wrapper, which also enabled me to continue merging my KDE apps fine. Somewhere along the line things got borked pretty bad (I'm having nothing but bad luck with this installation of Gentoo this time around, I really hope that it's just me screwing things up on accident, and it seems to be since so far I haven't seen any similar problem reports

).

Anyways!

After installing 2.16, mp3 preview in Nautilus doesn't seem to be working anymore. Checked settings, they seem ok.
Anything I can check ?

xmms-status-plugin overloading the gnome-notification-area eventually causing it to abnormally terminate can be resolved by going into the preferences for xmms-status-plugin and turning off 'support for freedesktop.org system tray specification'.

It operates just the same but does not force a new toolip to display (that dosen't automatically go away.. overloading the not. area).

well it doesn't crash any more, but the popups still don't go away, and you still have to click them away manually. Why don't they respect the timeout anymore?

--edit
scratch the part where I said that it no longer crashes, it still crashes, it just takes a little longer ...
