That wouldn't work. You'd still have to modify shutdown.allow.
I guess there's a way to set it within Gnome/GDM. |

If your system is a single user machine, you can just chmod +s shutdown to permit use by non-root users.

Does anybody read what I write?
/sbin/shutdown checks whether it is run by root - and if that's not the case, it does nothing.
You have to use the shutdown.allow file to change this.
Read the man page and this.
I don't think this is a problem with /sbin/shutdown, rather something in Gnome/GDM has to be configured.
And always remember, Google is your friend. |

That did the trick for rebuilding (almost) all of GNOME, thanks a bunch. Unfortunately, my initial problem is still there: the keyboard does not work inside GNOME. It works inside GDM, and inside other desktop managers (e.g. XFCE-4), but in GNOME it just makes the cursor blink, regardless of the application I am in. Any ideas where I could at least start tracing where the problem comes from? Any obvious packages that would deal with keyboard input under GNOME?
Thanks for your help! |
Hey pinger,
I had the same problem with the keyboard nog working. I just removed all the .gnome* en .gconf* directories in my home directory. After restarting gnome everything worked fine (allthough I had to re-do some of my config) |

|
|
Hi,
for all those complaining about the new disk mounter showing all user partitions from fstab, I found this:
http://gqapplets.sourceforge.net/applet-mount.html
This is the original disk mounter applet from 2.8. It will not conflict with the one in 2.10 and will show up as separate item in the applet list.
Unfortunately I don't know much about writing ebuilds, but I managed to get it installed by editing an existing ebuild. Perhaps somebody with more knowledge can write an ebuild for this. Feel free to send me an PM if you're interested in my ebuild.
Regards
Lululog |

According to this, GNOME 2.12 beta tarballs should be out in about a month. YAY!

Man you're crazy, gnome 2.10 just became stable, you're already chasing something thats not even planned to be stable (not even ~x86 yet) 
I just wait until it shows up in my emerge -uDp world unless I really need it. |

yeah that surely is crazyness but, Gnome rules a lot and I don't find myself waiting even until it hits ~x86 before trying it.

Heh. I'll be one of the ones helping to test it while it's hardmasked.

Sorry, that is not my experience. I don't have a shutdown.allow file. I simply did chmod +s /sbin/shutdown, and non-root users are allowed to execute it.

It turned out that the problem was in fact due to permission-issues; when I did a chmod 666 /dev/null and chmod 666 /dev/random the problem disappeared and Gnome started up just fine. The problem was caused by udev (which sets permissions on number of files, including /dev/null and /dev/random) not having an up-to-date config-file, which means that it didn't apply the rules specified in the (old) config-files, but instead used some default permissions. I solved the problem by running etc-update and updated all config-files related to udev. |
Psycho_Dad, **thank you** very much. I did an emerge sync last night, and tonight when I logged on I got the /dev/null error, and couldn't start up Gnome. I thought "what the ???". Thankfully I was able to su to root, and start up gnome and find your solution. The strange thing is that after emerge finished, it never told me that I had conf files that needed updating. Usually it warns me of that. Anyway, I ran etc-update and everything is fine again. Well, almost - prior to the udev update, my flash memory card was at /dev/uba1, now it's gone. How do I determine where udev moved the memory card?

You mean that you can execute /sbin/shutdown from the shell as a normal user? |

Gnome 2.10 is useless, but buggy.
Where are the new features, more speed, or solved bugs?
- the Network-Applet doesn't works correct since the release of the new baselayout
- the Network-Connector: where is this tool? i miss it?!
- Gstreamer aka Totem is buggy, unstable, cant play dvds and if is switch to xine, i got problems with ogg-files in nautilus (cant open options dialog) :mata:
I can see only the smaller an better sound-configuration dialog, but where is here the "alsa:dmix" support?

Yes. Before replying, I just now created etc/shutdown.allow, to see if that would make the shutdown option appear on the logout message window. It does not.

russionpirate, when you say "it works", what is the "it" you are referring to, adding /etc/shutdown.allow or chmod-ing /sbin/shutdown? I still haven't been able to get shutdown and reboot to show up on my logout message, unless I run gdm.

I am fairly certain that the Gnome logout "Shutdown/Reboot" system works by notifying GDM to handle the shutdown/reboot. As a result, it would naturally require GDM. |

Gnome network applet works now and that regression is fixed. Do an | Code: | | emerge sync; emerge --update gnome |
alsa:dmix works here fine. Some time ago I had to put .asoundrc in /etc/skel so every user on my machine could get sound mixing. This is now somehow done automatically. You just need to adjust "Desktop --> Preferences --> Multimedia System Selector" and choose "ALSA".
You are just and only complaining and bitching...

Gnome-Panel-2.10.2 Warns of existing panel already open.
Upgraded to 2.10.2, now whenever gnome opens it warns of a panel already open.
Tried deleting the default session then restarting but no joy - the nag screen comes back.
No impact on Gnome performance, just a nag.
Unable to find solution via google or forums. Anyone any ideas?
