I might could help then. All I needed to know is where it was putting things. It sure would be useful to have on hand, and I'm sure lots of folks would enjoy having it.
The encoding problem with some apps was important. Now if I could just get my cdrom to work properly and grip to stop being dumb... blargh! |

Let me guess  : you can't eject cds and grip doesn't read the content of audio cds??  |

Yeah. I have to tell it /dev/scd0 to get it to read the CD and then switch configs to /dev/sg0 for cdparanoia to be able to rip. Blargh! And I have to have /dev/scd0 and not /dev/sg0 in /etc/fstab to make mounting work properly. Even then, half the time it doesn't want to unmount/eject.
Something is either messed up with gnome or with this particular type of drive I have. Good drve but... blargh!

I'm quite sure it's not a gnome fault; this kind of tasks belong to udev... and the ~x86 versions (>=059) are simply crazy:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-355069.html
I don't know if it's your case, as I don't have scsi drives, but I resolved my problems downgrading from udev 065 to 064-r1... and stay away from 066!
With it the cd drives are totally gone  ... |

I'd imagine gentoo-wiki would be a good place to put it. |

Sure ;)
I've commited a patch that fixes the problem here:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98646
And here is a step-by-step solution for those that don't have experience with ebuilds:
1. save the patch under /usr/portage/gnome-base/gnome-panel/files
2. copy gnome-panel-2.10.2.ebuild to gnome-panel-2.10.2-r1.ebuild
3. edit new file, insert this code before src_compile function:
src_unpack() {
unpack ${P}.tar.bz2
cd ${S}
epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PN}-2.10.2-panel-revert-unset-sm-client-id.patch
}
4. $ ebuild gnome-panel-2.10.2-r1.ebuild digest
5. $ emerge =gnome-panel-2.10.2-r1 (remember to unmask ~arch)
6. remove ~/.gnome2/session
7. restart Gnome session
8. enjoy ;) |
I tried that but compiling fails w/

Hi,
I'm having problems in starting gnome. I just installed gentoo and gnome, and everything just worked fine. Then all in a sudden gnome decided not to start I tried to fix the problem by deleting all the config files related to my last session, like .gconf* .gnome* etc... but it didn't fix the problem. I also deleted every files under /tmp/.ICE-*/* ... but nothing!
When I run startx ... X load just fine but gnome get stuck at the logo.
Can anyone give me a hint ?
Thanks in advance

Don't do it, use gnome-session-2.10.0-r3 and remember to remove ~/.gnome2/session |

Gnome always puts an icon named "f" (because of my mountpoint /mnt/f) for my S-ATA drive (/dev/sda1) on my desktop. Is there a way to stop Gnome doing this?
part of my /etc/fstab:
| Code: | /dev/sda1 /mnt/f auto auto,user,gid=100,uid=1000 0 0
|
It's a x86 (stable) box. |

Don't know if /mnt is watched specifically, but you could try mounting it somewhere else and see what happens.
If that doesn't work, try removing the "auto" part before ",user".
Otherwise maybe it's possible to configure hal / hotplug or whatever to ignore sda1.
Another solution is using gconf-editor and changing flags in nautilus so it doesn't display mounted media on the desktop, only in "Computer". But that applies to all hotplugged media then. |

I believe it shows up because you have the flag "user" in there. If you remove "user", then it should be removed from the desktop. |

Did this ever get written? Any idea where it is? You might want to add this tidbit:
I had missing applications in the Applications menu. The .desktop files in /usr/share/applications were present and I couldn't find anything wrong with them. The problem was that I also had private user copies in ~/.local/share/applications. Once I enptied this directory, logged out and back in again, they finally showed up in the menu.

I think it is time to delete this thread. In fact the most people are currently fighting with the not working "gnome-volume-manager" in gnome 2.12

At one point I could not login using GDM Greeter because of errors "in config file" and then when I did log in, my desktop was just blank. Getting past that, I found that I got a bunch of "panel" errors. I wasted a lot of hours trying to fix these issues on a line-by-line basis.
For what it is worth, I found that by deleting EVERYTHING in /tmp and then logging in with the Failsafe Gnome session, everything fixed itself. I deleted the entire directory and then recreated it with root:root and 0777.
For any other uses on my system that had panel errors, I just told them to login using the Failsafe Gnome session one time and then log in again using the normal Gnome session. Problems just disappeared.
