 |
|
Hi folks,
After upgrading to gnome 2.14, I'm unable to add the disk mounter applet - it shows up in the list of processes, but not in the gnome panel - I'm able to add all the remaining applets without a problem. Has anyone seen this before? I've deleting everything the the /tmp folder after the upgrade.
Thanks,
vp |

I know this isn't much help to you but it seems to work ok here.
Try creating a new user account and see if you can add the applet to the panel from inside that account. If you can, then it's probably a configuration problem somewhere within your main account. |

I'm having exactly the same problem. and decided to do a emerge --depclean, with which gnome-volume-manager dissapeaered  and worse, revdep-rebuild din't bring back. so am now emerging the new version, which comes with 20 other packages. Hopefully this will solve the problem (it's definately a new ver of GVM which is being emerged) |

aha!!! i'm slowly getting to the root of this problem. I found some gconf files laying around, but deleting them had no effect. However, it seems "hal" has dissapeared from my use-flags. Also, dbus wasn't in my rc-update show, but was started anyway... 
anyway, i'm off to to add hal to my useflags, and dive into portage... again... |

well, hal wasn't the only thing missing from my useflags. I noticed samba had done a runner too. God knows what else is missing.
Anywho.
Adding hal and re-emerging did the trick.
| Code: | | USE="hal" emerge world --update --deep --newuse --ask |
you're probably better off adding hal as a global useflag in make.conf however. I recommend using ufed for this. Highly useful little app.
Also, if you have any mountpoitns set up in fstab (not strictly necessary, as Gnome will happily assign mount points and the like) make sure they have the "user" option set. (as well as having the mountpoint created... whoops...  )
Anyway, hope I was of help  |
