Bug 165583 – gnome-base/nautilus-2.16.3 - gconf missing: /apps/nautilus/desktop + /apps/nautilus/sidebar_panels

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Weber 2007-02-06 09:52:39 UTC]

Since nautilus-2.16.3 (fresh install) the directorys /apps/nautilus/desktop and /apps/nautilus/sidebar_panel in gconf are missing, so it is impossible to unset "trash_icon_visilbe" (as a example).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. fresh nautilus install
2. fire up gconf
3. browse to /apps/nautilus

Seems that there are more people affected:

It is still possible to unset trash_icon_visible

gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible false

You can do this for the Computer icon as well

gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/computer_icon_visible false

Great, that works! Thanks!
Does anyone know, why nautilus doesn't creat the entrys itself?

[Comment 4 srrijkers 2007-03-01 12:55:15 UTC]

It's due to a bug in the ebuild. A pkg_postinst() displaying an einfo (btw, shouldn't that be an elog?) was added recently (01 Feb 2007), without explicitly adding a gnome2_pkg_postinst as well. Because of this, nautilus's gconf schemas don't get installed properly.

Thanks for catching that.  I've fixed it in portage.  If you're having this problem, re-emerge nautilus.

Great. Now it is, like it should be.
Thank you.
