Posted: Mon Jul 03, 2006 3:32 pm Post subject: That new GNOME menu |
|
|
I've seen two alternatives to GNOME's standard "foot" menu which look really cool
The first is Novell's "Computer" menu, as seen in the Xgl videos. It's going to be part of Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10.
The other one is Gimmie, which was presented at GUADEC and mentioned in this week's GWN.
Before I break something trying to get these to work, has anyone tried either of these on Gentoo? Has Novell even released the source for their thing? Where is GNOME itself heading? _________________ Gentoo: keep it real. |

You can get the menu in this way:
Code: | cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome co slab |
then you have to run autogen.sh and then make and make install.
More info on the ubuntuforums can be found here:

I have it running here met Gnome 2.14.x _________________ Greetings, Priyantha Bleeker |

i have not NetworkManager installed so ./configure fails.
is there a way to tell configure not to use it?
i searched a lil bit in google and found the disable option, but it doesn`t work.
./configure --disable-NetworkManager --prefix=/usr
maybe someone wants to help me? |

Try putting autogen.sh instead of configure. I just got it up on my box, runs fine
Code: | ./autogen.sh --disable-NetworkManager --prefix=/usr |

well, something seems to be wrong on my gentoo box...
first of all, i had to install gtk-doc, because slab also wants that.
then i did
Code: | cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome co slab |
and after successfully downloading the cvs
i did
Code: | ./autogen.sh --disable-NetworkManager --prefix=/usr |
unfortunately it failed again.
i post you here the log

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables MAIN_MENU_CFLAGS
and MAIN_MENU_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details. |
i have no clue what´s wrong... |

I doubt it, i said the same for mine. I would think that you can't get away without NetworkManager installed, could you post the link where you got the --disable-NetworkManager?
a quick solution might be to just install NetworkManager, getting it up is relatively easy..

well, i just thought that networkmanager would just be like an add-on, not a required dependancy.
hmm.. the problem with networkmanager is that i was not able to get a ip, because dhcdp clients can`t get an ip from my router (very old cisco isdn router)
my second reason not to use nm is that it seems gentoo-devs doesn´t like it very much, so the chance it will be added to portage are very low.
kk, i make a backup of my installation and install there nm. i want to see that panel
thanks for the help |

it shows the same thing for me. don`t think it is a gnome settings problem.
that gcontrol works better. you can adapt it by editing the python script.
i also changed in /usr/share/applications/control-center.desktop the exe in gcontrol, so the new one from ubuntu will be loaded.
luckily slab can be adapted via gconf-editor, so porthole works instead of yast, when you use the installation button :> |
