Bug 5928 – gnome2 schemes aren't installed

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Laurent Mouillart 2002-08-02 16:00:51 UTC]

nautilus  2.0.2, metacity 2.3.987-r2, and all other base gnome2 packages does
not install the gconf scheme of each packages.

So metacity haven't shortcuts keyboard,Gnome desktop haven't background picture,
the gtk theme selector is unable to change the theme, and many other disorder.

now this is urgent

What version of gconf is it that you have installed?

[Comment 2 Spider (RETIRED) 2002-08-04 02:22:24 UTC]

question, how are you installing this? do you build packages and install or do
you build from source?

[Comment 3 Laurent Mouillart 2002-08-04 05:15:03 UTC]

The gconf version used was 1.2.0-r4:

The entry system was build last week from an updated portage tree, with emerge
-b gnome on a Gentoo 1.2 system.


In sample for metacity when I used metacity-2.3.987-r2 schemas aren't installed
in gconf.
If I emerge an older package before, schemas are installed by the older package
and used correctly by the new, and it look like that for other gnome2 packages.

okay..
first it seems you are missing settings from /etc/make.globals 

it should have the line :
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf"


in it.

Next, you have hit the bug on gnome2.eclass extracting of CONTENTS to find
schemas, please try this patch (attaching) as it has been posted to -dev list
for testing.

Created attachment 2804 [details, diff]
gnome2.eclass.diff

this patch goes against /usr/portage/eclass/gnome2.eclass and should make it
work for you.

sorry about the inconvenience but I've needed more testing on this.

[Comment 6 Laurent Mouillart 2002-08-04 06:51:26 UTC]

CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf" was already in /etc/make.globals.
After applying the patch all seem work nice, schemas are merged succesfully in
gconf.

Thank's.
