New wiki page, please contribute - Gnome 2.28 Changes

graysky · 2009-10-12 22:08:48

I put together a wiki page that attempts to capture various changes/tweaks relating to Gnome 2.28. It is very sparse right now so please have a look and contribute. Hopefully, it will serve as a relevant source of info for users as we switch from 2.26 to 2.28.

Thanks!

Nice. I've been wanting to try out Gnome 2.28 but I'm probably just going to wait until "pacman -Syu" gets it for me .

Not sure this is the right place to put it, but it seems hal doesn't want to auto-mount my removable media after uprading to 2.28. It worked perfectly before, and after consulting hal and gnome wiki pages again, I'm stumped. Anyone?

Same problem here. Also, after mounting the two partitions on my external drive, clicking the 'eject' icon in Nautilus to unmount one of them does this correctly, and gives me the error:

"Failed to eject medium; one or more volumes on the medium are busy"

Who'd a thought "pacman -Syu" would get it for me the very next day !

The same issue, started new thread in Newbie Corner

I encountered two problems:

1. No right click menu anymore when I click on the desktop. Global Menu also doesn't show the options that were available thorugh this anymore (feature like the missing gdm gui or bug?).

2. Now I have grey squares around my tray icons.

#1 was caused by the newest version of nautilus-gloobus - the "normal" nautilus works as desired.

#2 isn't solved in the linked thread.

wonder · 2009-10-13 17:47:08

what i wanted to point is that thread and discuss there about your problem.

Barghest · 2009-10-13 17:49:21

Yes, thanks for this.

And I want to say that one issue wasn't caused by gnome 2.28

I couldn't mount my external HDD after gnome upgrade. Solved this by installing libatasmart 0.15-1 from aur. (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/387161)

When I upgraded to gnome 2.28 icons appeared in the menu even though I do not have 'Show icons in menus' checked in the preferences panel. I'm not able to turn the icons off.

I seem to be having the opposite problem that most people on the net are having with 2.28 and icons and I haven't seen a fix anywhere.

Does anyone know what happened to the Login Window menu option? Used to be System -> Administration -> Login Window

I tried searching for it but haven't found anything. Has anyone else had this problem?

Login window==GDM most of the time on gnome.

Enjoy

Yes, I updated it. But I've seen the package was updated again today. Maybe I try it again.

Given the amount of posts revolving around Gnome 2.28 what do others think about a sticky request for this thread? The wiki article covers a larger number of Gnome 2.28 issues that might help repeat posts.

Since upgrading to Gnome 2.28, the automounter disregards any custom mount options in /system/storage/default_options/vfat

The automounting I suppose is now handled via the devicekit-disks package with options hardcoded. I don't know of any way to override the default except modifying/patching the source to what *I* want. What has worked for several versions of Gnome has stopped.

The workaround/bandaid solution works for me: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=82348

If the custom mount options have to be put in a configuration file somewhere, the default schema/entry descriptions should be modified to inform us about this.
