Hi, I migrated from gnome 1.4 to gnome 2.2 (*) yesterday and here are the problems I encountered. I am willing to report the problems but I am not sure to which package they pertain. If you got ideas how to fix the remaining ones, please do contact me :)
[Some problems were related to the fact that I was using wmaker, which is not a 'pure' Gnome Window Manager.] - first I encountered bug 178956 [1] which is supposed to be fix but the new package for gnome-desktop-data doesn't seem to have been uploaded and I had to manually remove gnome-help (using dpkg). - I lost my default window manager at startup (wmaker). I fixed the problem by adding a window manager in the session applications to startup but I am not sure it is the correct fix. Should I put it elsewhere? I didn't find any gnome panel to change my window manager settings as I used to have in Gnome 1.4. Sawfish seems to be the only supported WM. - I lost my mouse acceleration settings. Was at maximum, spent 5 minutes trying to reach the window to tune it down :) Really annoying. - I had duplicate launchers on my top gnome panels. Removed them manually. - lost some panels (e.g. e-sound manager). Do I miss a package? - lost icons for some panels (at startup one complains about missing /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-battery.png). Do I miss a package? - lost placement of all icons on desktop. Now everything is on the left. - lost icons related to file types (all icons are identical on my desktop and in nautilus, really annoying) - lost workspace configuration (had 4, handled by wmaker, got 1) - lost applications at startup (was probably handled by wmaker, not gnome) - lost default xterm setting (was Xterm was defaulted to Gnome Terminal) - gthumb crashes jerome@expresso> gthumb Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library gthumb: relocation error: gthumb: undefined symbol: __cmpdi2 - sensible-browser complains upon closing jerome@expresso> sensible-browser Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library ** CRITICAL **: file /tmp/galeon-1.2.7/build/upstream/src/mozilla/mozilla.cpp: line 591 (gboolean mozilla_print_preview_close(GaleonEmbed *)): assertion `embed->wrapper != NULL' failed. - I also find yelp extremely slow Attached the list of my gnome packages obtained doing a 'dpkg -l | grep gnome > gnome.list' Hope it helps. I still have some packages to install. (*) Yes I missed gnome 2.0, waiting too much for it to be stable :) [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=178956&archive=no -- Jerome Lacoste (Frisurf) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CoffeeBreaks
