Hello, I have just installed gnome 2.26 and had a few issues with installation. I didn't know whether you wanted bugzilla filled with overlay related bugs, so I'll put all my issues here: Simple one gnome-base/gnome-keyring The valgrind use needs to pull in valgrind. I don't have valgrind installed and it wouldn't compile without packages.use haviing -valgrind for gnome-keyring gnome-settings-daemon The version requires some components of X to be ~amd64. With standard X, the daemon failed to start with an error related to invalid event class. I updated x to ~amd64 and the daemon starts fine. The ebuild didn't pull in newer x packages, I had to do this manually. gnome-power-manager Now using ~amd64 version of dbus version 1.2.3-r1. I needed to change the permissions on /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper and add a+x to get power manager to work. This is probably a dbus ebuild issue, but I didn't know whether I have just created a security issue by doing this, so mentioning it here. libtool Various packages failed to install until I ~amd64 ed libtool. There were two main issues: missing libgstreamer.la (updated gstreamer at same time as gnome.) libtool which just doesn't work lots of -X...... messages. Lost the build.log now stuff works. These issues went away, when I updated to sys-devel/libtool-2.2.6a Not sure if this is the best way to post these kind of issues, but thought it was about time I did something useful for gentoo. If you need any more information, I'll try get some. Reproducible: Always
first of all, thanks for taking the time to try gnome 2.26 and write about the issues that you had during the update. I don't have the time to reply to everything now but here are two important points to make your contributions better: * prefer individual bug report per problem, it is easier for us to treat things that stays on focus. * please attach error messages (logs, build.log, console output, ...) and emerge --info as it is often not enough to just describe the problem the way you see it.
* gnome-base/gnome-keyring: should be fixed now. * gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon: this might be the libxklavier issue, bug #256016. Note that there are some other things that will subtly break with old xorg-server but we haven't been able to figure it out exactly what needs to be upgraded. * gnome-extra/gnome-power-manager: strange, I've had no such issue. /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper is -rws--x--- 1 root messagebus which sounds ok for what it needs to do. You might have been confused by how devicekit needs a restart to work maybe. regarding packages not building with libtool-1 this is not really high priority for us to fix but you can still open individual bugs about them, we need to take care of them before stabilization anyway.
please get back to us.
On my (freshly emerged) system dbus-daemon-launch-helper ownership is as shown: qsorix@defteros ~ % ls -l /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper -rws--x--- 1 root root 100576 Oct 8 01:59 /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper qsorix@defteros ~ % equery b /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper sys-apps/dbus-1.3.0 (/usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper)
