Comments on: Indicators for GNOME2 – Update https://lizards.opensuse.org/2011/02/19/indicators-for-gnome2-update/ Blogs and Ramblings of the openSUSE Members Fri, 06 Mar 2020 17:50:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Nelson Marques https://lizards.opensuse.org/2011/02/19/indicators-for-gnome2-update/#comment-4632 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 16:39:10 +0000 http://lizards.opensuse.org/?p=6675#comment-4632 Ok, I’ve made a new install and used the 1-Click installer with the procedures I’ve told you and I was able to duplicate the bug. This bug is of human origin, and I’m the one to blame for it 😉

I’ve added the gsettings schema macros to the RPM and it’s rebuilding at the moment.

I’ve also removed gnome-session from the repository, as it was making GNOME3 default login instead of GNOME2. I’m going to work this out and submit a fixed version still today.

I know some applets used to trigger weird effects alongside with some gnome-applets.

I’m finishing some other stuff meanwhile, mainly a small guide for the openSUSE wiki, and will provide a more extensive tutorial on how to disable some applets. In the meanwhile I’ll try to figure which applets might be triggering those effects.

We are shipping Banshee 1.8.0, therefore I’m using that extension. After 11.4 release, I will provide the dependencies to Factory so that Banshee team can enable the core functionality for 1.9.x (sound menu integration), and enable libappindicator on banshee-community-extensions. For the time being since those dependencies aren’t provided by Factory, I’ve made those two available.

I installed the indicators today.
They seems to work properly only I see very often the message that the panel has suddenly quit and if I want to restart it.

Are you sure this indicator is what has the notification support because I don’t have it installed and I get notifications from Banshee.

After install update the system, download and open this file[1]. This should pop YaST software installer and it’s just following up the instructions. This operation also installs this repository, which is good.

Next step is opening YaST, select “Software Repositories” and give the test repository a higher priority over all the others. This is required so that you can install our modified software (gtk2, gdk-pixbuf, metacity, empathy, etc… some of those packages the installer already installs them, but not the most important, gtk2 and gdk-pixbuf). A higher priority repo will have a lower number, so make sure this repository has lowest number when compared to the others.

Open a terminal, become root (ex: su) and run zypper dup. On a clean install this is actually easy and a few packages will be replaced.

Restart and then add the indicators to panel. That should pretty much do it.

I will compile more INSTALL information on the following page[2] and will keep it updated once GNOME:Ayatana is Live.

Anything you can ring me on #opensuse-gnome @ Freenode (nmarques).

As far as the reboot after update goes, it looks for ‘/var/run/reboot-required’ if I’m not mistaken.
