Cheers.

Behind a FW may cause a problem. Have you had any problems with any other overalys using SVN? If not, then :

layman -d xeffects
layman -L
layman -a xeffects

If you still get a problem, it may be firewall related. Ensure your FW can allow SVN traffic.

Could it be possible I never had any problem with the terminal being transparent?

Anyways..

I was wondering if everyone got the same problem: I lost my battery state icon (laptop) and I can't add any new icons to my panel

I too lost my battery state for my laptop. Haven't had a chance to fool with it to see what's wrong. I'll check when I get home, as I'm at work atm.

Glad I'm not the only one

I recompiled gnome-applets but no solution. Maybe it isn't included yet?

Do you also have problems regarding adding new shortcuts to your bar?

EDIT: I just unplugged my AC adapter and a tooltip showed up over my "gnome-logo" startmenu telling me my laptop is unplugged and it'll now run on batterypower.

I don't mean to be nagging here, but once Gnome-2.18 hits ~arch, could the creation of a corresponding gnome-light ebuild be expedited? With 2.16 it took ages for it to appear...

after a emerge --sync and layman -S, just now all of my gnome packages seem to want to downgrade - did they all get hard masked?

Thanks the unmasking worked.

I'm still going to rebuild gnome after it has hit ~arch. But not downgrade.

i.e. 2.18 (experimental) -> 2.18
instead of 2.18 (experimental) -> 2.16 -> 2.18

I just removed the gnome-experimental overlay and did a resync.

First of all I want to say THANK YOU Gentoo Dev and Gnome-Experimental Maintainers!!!
You did and do a great Job handling the new Version of Gnome.

I am using it for a while now with no glitch!

I noticed that I am unable to run any of the Administration Applications (Dont have permissions) Only as root form the console.

How can I setup it to work?
I noticed that Ubuntu uses sudo??? But the password is saved for the whole session?

How can I make gtksu to automatically launch when I try one of those apps?

Thanks!

Dekel

the whole Gnome 2.18 stuff is already masked in /usr/portage/profiles/packages.mask
but the ebuilds are actually not in the portage tree.

@n3Cre0 do you really have the gnome 2.18 ebuilds in portage??

No. I though I did since `google gentoo packages` showed they were added (hard-masked) to portage. But after removing the overlay and doing the necessary steps it still wanted to downgrade so I'll stay with the overlay for now

@guru369: Exactly the same here! (about sudo)
It worked in 2.16.0 but here I also get that messagebox telling me I can't access the settings. Yesterday I had to log in X as root just to change something.

Btw everything I start from the terminal gets this:

just to add my experiences so far:

packages in portage: not at my PC so can't confirm but 99.9% sure I'm using the ebuilds in the overlay

root privileges for sys-admin stuff: same problem

gnupg circular dep: evolution-2.10 wants gnupg-2.0.3, seahorse wants gnupg-1.4.7

other than that seems to be working fine for me
n3Cre0: thanks for providing the gentoo-wiki link

No problem.

Yes I thought so too
http://packages.gentoo.org/daily/2007/03/24/

If you do a ctrl+f 2.18.0 you'll notice alot (if not all?) ebuilds for gnome 2.18.0 were added yesterday - 03/24/07

Glad everyone is having the sys-admin trouble. Anyone else can confirm my GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: ?

Is it me or does nothing on the System -> Administration menu in Gnome 2.18 work?

The GUI error reads:
