Status of GNOME 2.24 in Debian ?

2008-10-10T08:48:41Z

Hi,

I'm wondering about the status of GNOME 2.24 in debian. This page
http://www.0d.be/debian/debian-gnome-2.24-status.html as well as a daily
experimental repository probing tend to say that things haven't moved
for a while.
Is there some kind of plan for GNOME somewhere ?

Thanks,
Xav

Thanks. There was indeed a gparted-disable-automount.fdi file in
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy so it seems I too have been a victim of this
bug :-). I've removed it so it should fix it for me. I can't test it
now because my niece now has the flash drive I would use to test it, but
I'm pretty sure this was the problem since gnome-volume-manager has
always been installed and running properly in all gnome logins. I'll
test later to verify and will post if any problems arise, but I think
all should be well now. Thanks again.

I had the same symptoms and found out I was experiencing the effects
of this bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=434268

If this turns out to be the reason in your case too, simply removing
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/gparted-disable-automount.fdi - file will
give you back automounting.

Yes, it should work as well as on etch if gnome-volume-manager is
installed. Beware that you may need to add yourself to the floppy group.

Making flash drive automatically appear on gnome desktop

2008-10-02T15:37:24Z

I'm wondering: Is anyone running lenny/sid (unstable) able to connect
their flash drive and have it automatically appear on their gnome
desktop? I've tested, and a flash drive connected on a fully updated
stable system (etch) automatically appears on the desktop while it does
not on my fully updated unstable (amd64) system. Is there some package
responsible for this functionality that I might be missing? Any help
would be much appreciated. TIA.

This is still not fixed, even with a recent (last week?) update to
compiz in testing.

Is this working for anyone? How? How severe a bug should this be --
important, grave (since it's unusable on second login)?

Sounds sane - apart from upstream status, which should be tracked by
looking directly at the bug report instead of changing the package.

ISTR it was requested that we keep the numbers by the security team, so
that management is closer to other patch systems.

Awesome.

Some things which might or might not be worth discussing:

* Every patch should have a pseudo-header including the patch author
and a patch description, as well as, if applicable, debian bug,
upstream bug and upstream status (submitted, applied etc.).

* naming scheme for patches based on upstream/debian status; dpatch and
quilt can apply patches in arbitrary order so prefixing numbers is
not required anymore; however, having one of the prefixes local,
submitted and svn for Debian-specific changes, submitted patches and
upstream applied patches (as done e.g. by the glibc package) might be
desirable. If CDBS' simple-patchsys is used, a number can get
prefixed as well.

It's really too old to be very useful. I don't think we have been
following a very strict policy, but the Debian GNOME group uses a set
of tools and relatively homogen packaging habits across the pkg-gnome
packages. We're happy to help in specific issues you face, or to start
from other packages as templates for yours; we hang on #gnome-debian on
GIMPNet, but you can also ask your questions on debian-gtk-gnome@.

If anyone is interested in maintaining a GNOME subpolicy document, I
guess he could try collecting information with us.

There is not a GNOME policy maintained via the aegis of the Debian Policy
group, but that's not unusual. A lot of the packaging teams have their
own policies. The best place to ask this question would be on
debian-gtk-gnome@..., so far as I can tell.

Bug roundup for lenny

2008-08-01T04:00:59Z

If you want to help lenny be the best desktop release ever, here is a
list of bugs that deserve attention before the release.

gdm
* #462748 and its friends: GDM segfaults on shutdown. Actually it
doesn’t segfault when being stopped, but when init kills all
remaining processes. If anyone can get a useful stack trace,
that could help fixing this issue for good.

gnome-applets
* #481762: trashapplet doesn’t work. Actually it works, but the
icon just doesn’t show up. It appeared around the time of the
trash location migration, but it is probably unrelated.

system-config-printer
* #486580: Can't change printer settings. That’s a stack trace
that often appears while applying changes. Maybe already fixed
in upstream’s git tree.

evince/poppler
* #481134: libpoppler does not use cmap files from
xpdf-{japanese,...}, and fails to parse Japanese PDF files.
There are solutions, we just need to apply them now.

epiphany/xulrunner (these packages are in a BAD state)
* #393837: Unable to edit or delete certificates. This bug badly
needs help. If you have knowledge about the internals of
Gecko/Chrome and could help, please get in touch with glandium
or myself.
* #486744: Crash when increasing font size. Similarly this
requires attention from someone who knows the Gecko rendering
engine, or from a C++ guru ready to dig in it.
* #492143: Crash when downloads finish. It is not clear whether
this bug belongs to dbus-glib, libnotify or ephy, but Colin
Walters seems to have a good clue here. Implementing and testing
a patch based on his idea should be good.
* #492927: Crashes in GkAtoms_info. This should have been fixed in
xulrunner after the epiphany rebuild, but it still happens
sometimes.

Cheers,

Oops, stupid me. I was having look at file-roller, which is 2.22.4-1 in
testing and did some mental short circuit. Of course nautilus 2.22 is in
experimental only, sorry for the confusion.

(But maybe 02_nautilus_2.20 patch could be removed from file-roller in
experimental?)

I did quick test - commented out 02_nautilus_2.20.patch and rebuild
file-roller 2.22.4 from debian source. It works, 'Extract here' shows
again.

As nautilus 2.22 is already even in testing, I'd suggest it is time
to remove patch 02_nautilus_2.20.

Supposedly gnome-mount 0.8 (in experimental) can mount ntfs-3g, so is
anything really missing from hal?

From the changelog:
- Add Suggests on ntfs-3g. gnome-mount uses ntfs-3g by default for NTFS
partitions.

Ah, that would explain my problems. Thanks for the pointer, now I can
get on with the protection of my private data ;-)

No, it works for me.

It has been working on my AMD64 Sid machine for a long time. There is
still one problem though - if you use the whole device as a LUKS volume
for removable (USB) drive, it will be opened via Gnome (you'll get
'decrypted' device /dev/mapper/luks_something), but _not_ mounted.

If you use first _partition_ to host your LUKS volume, Gnome integration
works like a charm (at least for me).

LUKS still broken?

2008-07-11T15:54:40Z

A while back (when pmount was replaced by gnome-mount) I noticed that my
encrypted USB stick using LUKS wouldn't mount automatically. At the
time I decided to simply ditch the encryption--there wasn't anything
worth protecting on there anyway. Now I have reason to want encryption
again but my attempts to achieve automatic mounting have failed. Might
I be missing something obvious, like some extra package that's needed to
make it work?

Oh BTW, I'm using a Sid system on AMD64.

Cheers,
M

Gnome apps dying on SEGFAULT when Libertine font used

2008-07-09T22:10:45Z

This is strange - I've set Libertine font (package linux-libertine) as
applications font only to realize most Gnome applications (nautilus,
some applets, gconf-editor to name a few) are segfaulting as a result.

Please try and see for yourself. I hope someone else can confirm this
bug. (WARNING: If you do, you probably won't be able to recover easily
as gnome-appearance-properties can segfault as well. Quick and dirty
solution is to remove linux-libertine font and run g-a-p again to
restore your fonts setup.)

I'm running AMD64, almost up-to-date unstable + experimental mix.

Compiz needs to be patched to report itself as compiz instead of argv[0]
to the session manager. GNOME applications do that with
gnome_client_set_restart_command, I don’t know for compiz.

I see. Thanks for clarifying.

Okay, but is this kind of kludge/workaround necessary for most people?
Ubuntu somehow gets it right on the same machine.

Cyril, thanks for the reminder, I've used fusion-icon before, and now
that it's back in testing I'll get it again.

I suggest you install fusion-icon and start it when your session starts.
It is quite useful to change the window manager (some Java apps still
have problems with compiz), reload compiz or start the configuration panel.

# aptitude install fusion-icon

Cheers,

Cyril Jaquier

Because compiz.real (the actual compiz binary) only sees the
GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension if the LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
environment variable is set, which is done by the /usr/bin/compiz
wrapper script.

Probably by somehow making the session manager call the wrapper script
instead of the actual binary.
