Re: New Gnome 2.5 repository

New packages are released every 5 minutes it seems, so I'm building and building and building, and you're upgrading and upgrading...

The clock problem is now fixed by compiling the gnome-panel package with --disable-eds. The clock applet has a nice feature which needs e-d-s: start up evolution, get the calendar module, make an appointment today and click the clock in the panel to get a calendar: when clicking the date it will show the appointments for that date.

This is a gnome 2.8 thingy I think, much more programs will integrate into the evolution data server. For now, we'll stick to gnome-panel without evolution-data-server.

Re: New Gnome 2.5 repository

Anyone else have a problem with Nautilus when trying to change the properties of an icon on the desktop?  I have two machines running gnome 2.6 - my desktop does not have this problem, my laptop does.  I have heard of others having this same problem.  If you go to properties, nautilus locks up or totally crashes.

Any ideas?

The lockups and crashes could be a cause of librsvg. The version that was released should fix the problem. There was a memory leak in libcroco which was resolved by freeing some things in librsvg. When the libcroco guys fixed the memleak, a double free was the result, resulting in segfaults at random (GAIM is an application that likes to segfault)

Re: New Gnome 2.5 repository

Hi,

I just did a pacman -Syu and rebooted my system. Now, my Gnome has icon trouble. For most of the icons, that white sheet of paper is shown. Know what to do?

Thanks,
Alex

Re: New Gnome 2.5 repository

Dorphell fucked up the gtk2 build.

Don't worry, it will get fixed. Either by a new package from dorphell, or by getting my gtk2 build that's still on the FTP: ftp://schoolbak.dyndns.org/pub/archlinu … pkg.tar.gz

This build also fixes the keybinding problem in control-center.

/me is reverting to this package too, the --datadir solution dorphell uses in 2.4.0-1 seems to fix the icons, but breaks other things.
