Gnome 2.3.5 has arrived...

Bout that time again folks... Fresh from the Gnome team we have a brand new development release! The ebuilds are at www.breakmygentoo.net and, as usual, post any bugs/problems to bugs.breakmygentoo.net or here on this thread (if ya must)... Remember folks, if you post bugs with these ebuilds to the gentoo bugzilla we will send lovechild down to administer your just punishment.

Enjoy!

it won't build for me, it says there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy libbonoboui 2.3.6..

a quick check of my /usr/local/portage/gnome-base/libbonoboui shows only version 2.3.3..

sp, you probably did one of two things.

1) Did not untar the package in the correct directory. Or...

2) You grabbed the wrong package.

I downloaded the 2.3.5 package about 20 minutes ago, currently building fine, about half way done.

Thanks Lin_Matt

after looking into it for a little bit, it appears the problem package is gnome-utils-2.3.3. For whatever reason, the ebuild requires either the wrong version, or is mixed up with libbonobo-2.3.6.

editing the gnome-utils ebuild and changing the 6 to a 3 got my emerge going again, not sure if it really is going to fix it.. My guess is it should because regardless of whether its supposed to be libbonoboui-2.3.3 or libbonobo-2.3.6, both are being installed so it should be ok.

bed time for me though, I'll check on it in the morning and report back.

Works fine for me, too!

Only a right click on my panel shows me a gnome 2.3.4 version.

But a "emerge -p gnome" brings a :

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-2.3.5

Any Ideas ?

Sorry for the ebuild errors there folks... The libbonoboui dep is fixed in gnome-utils and the gnome metabuild has a digest now... Thanks for the reports...

Lin-matt, you even beat me for the announcement thread... damn, are you just super bored or something - lately you've been on fire.

I have problems to set the keyboard autorepeat rate & delay.
If I change my settings in the keyboard applet or the accesibility keyb applet the bars are always set back to the minimun, and my keyboard writes each key twice.
I have to disable totally the autorepeat to be able to write things normally, and not each key twice.

Anybody has the same problem?

Can some one tell me how should I go about emerging it?
I unzipped the package to /usr/local/portage. Then when I try to emerge it, I get this

Have you set PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage in your make.conf? It's there, just commented out by default. That'll let it pick ebuilds out of /usr/local/portage in addition to /usr/portage so you don't hose all your custom stuff every time you emerge sync.

I have a problem with metacity. When I use Alt-Tab to switch between windows on my desktop, I get to switch the windows but the windows are not "brought on top" - All I see is the frame ( black frame arounf the window ) of the selected window. I would like the Alt-Tab to behave like it used to in metacity under gnome-2.2.2 where it had the same behavioutr as under M$ Windows. Does anyone know where I can set this up? GConf option?

Thanks and regards

Anybody else having evolution stability issues? (as well as gpilotd issues

)

Saw the other thread on going back to libbonoboui 2.2.2 (IIRC) but I don't think that'll fly with gnome 2.3.5.....

I tried re-emergeing libbonoboui, evolution, gnome-pilot and gnome-pilot-conduits, but I still get segfaults when I:

Sync my address book.
Shutdown evolution
Change pilot setting is evolution

Just curious.....

Just a little note: it seems to me that librsvg 2.3.1 breaks (among other things perhaps?) the gnome-themes-extras SVG based themes. All buttons and icons were gone. I copied the 2.3.1 ebuild to 2.3.0, emerged and voila: SVG based themes worked again.

Just upgraded to 2.3.5 and everything seems fine, except that I can't seem to find the option to turn of animations and enable wireframe moving in metacity. I know there was some trouble earlier with the wireframe patch, but it's odd that I can't find the gconf key to disable animations.
And I could swear I compiled it with the "breakme" useflag.

So, the question is where in gconf is the option for wireframe and animations? And if I can't find that is there a way for me to see with which useflags metacity was compiled with?

I tried etcat, but it just tells me "No USE flags found for : x11-wm/metacity".

nautilus-cd-burner is a dependency of nautilus ONLY if you pass it the "cdr" USE flag. To get around it, throw USE="-cdr" infront of your emerge gnome, or whatever.
