Re: Gnome 2.24

I've upgraded and now have two problems that are really bugging me!
If I go to places > Home, etc an error pops up:
"Could not open location 'file:///home/vieira'
No application is registered as handling this file."
The same applies to other folders in Places but not to Computer or Network.

If I open the terminal get a bash-3.2$ instead of the usual user@computer $...

Also totem-xine doesn't start:
"totem: error while loading shared libraries: libcamel-1.2.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

All was working fine before updating. Any way to revert :S?

Any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

I'm experiencing this issue too, although I'm using totem-gstreamer.
There is already a bug report about this: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11836

Re: Gnome 2.24

Is gnome-terminal's ability to set urgent hint upon a terminal bell fixed in this release ?

From the error message, I think you need to recompile awn against the new gnome-desktop package to fix the problem.

Re: Gnome 2.24

Is it just me, or this new GNOME version feels faster?

Yes, it isn't just feeling, it is faster! Actully it's not gnome that's faster really, but GTK. Btw, I'm using nVidia NVS Quadro 140M, C2D 2.2GHz (Lenovo T61).

How should I do that? I mean, which packages do I need ro reinstall?

Re: Gnome 2.24

Gnome 2.24 is so bad that I have moved to KDEmod (3). I have no idea what the experience is like for all of you, save for a few comments here and there, but for me it's been nothing but an unstable mess. It crashes constantly and harrasses me every few minutes of use with messages about missing files, misplaced files and so forth...

Awful release from the Gnomes.

I've been using Gnome 2.24 since the day it hit testing and it hasn't caused me any trouble at all. The only bug I've encountered was gnome-screensaver reverting back to the default leaf background in /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/gnome/background-default.jpg.

Perhaps you can try reinstalling the whole gnome and gnome-extra groups?

Re: Gnome 2.24

Great to have GNOME 2.24 in Arch.

I have only one "problem" when login in root account in terminal i get

bash-3.2#

But it should be dir in which Im located. Any ideas.

Trash restore is really great.

you don't have .bashrc and .bash_profile

cat .bashrc

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '

cat .bash_profile

. $HOME/.bashrc

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Gnome 2.24

I've noticed something....interesting. I am using metacity as a compositor right now, but since today, I noticed something strange. Does anyone know if the metacity compositor has been extended to add functionality like this:

Note the transparency. Whaaa? Could this possibly be my theme? And if so, why would it only be that way on some windows?

Not quite 15/20 seconds here but definitely a noticable pause.  Even more noticable since everything else seems more responsive.

I started to notice the issues in Gnome 2.22 and they became progressively worse as I updated my Arch installation. Thanks for the suggestion but I have already re-installed (clean removing all of the uneeded /share and ~.gnome* stuff.) unfortunately with no improvement in the chaotic behaviors.

Re: Gnome 2.24

i had to download all of gnome again(pacman -S gnome) and i also cleaned my .gnome* directories and my .local/gnomerelatedstuff dir.. and had to do a bunch of other stuff but supposedly that was my error. now it works like a charm though..

Re: Gnome 2.24

I think ~/.gconf* is at least as important as ~/.gnome* if you want to do a thorough cleanup.
