  • Gnome-gmail-notifier [libsoup problem]

    Hi,
    I am trying to orphan the package gnome-gmail-notifier, but i ran into this problem. I only edited the PKGBUILD to match the new version and edited the download link. Now i am having some problems running ./configure
    No package 'libsoup-2.2' found
    Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
    installed software in a non-standard prefix.
    Alternatively, you may set the environment variables libsoup_CFLAGS
    and libsoup_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
    See the pkg-config man page for more details.
    make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
    ==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    If i understand it correctly , it is looking for the libary libsoup wich in arch is called libsoup
    /usr/lib/
    libsoup-2.4.so
    libsoup-2.4.so.1
    libsoup-2.4.so.1.2.0
    How could i let the ./configure use libsoup-2.4 as libary?

    The problem is that gnome-gmail-notifier needs libsoup 2.2 while in the repo we have libsoup 2.4. Gnome-gmail-notifier needs to be patched to build/work with the latest libsoup. Try googling, maybe there's a patch available.

  • [Gnome - GDM] Locale/Charset Problem

    Hi everybody,
    I´m using Gnome with GDM as Display Manager.
    I got a problem with my keyboard settings, but don´t know why
    The first charset/locale option is set in the /boot/grub/menu.lst
    kernel /vmlinuz26 lang=de locale=de_DE.UTF8 root=/dev.....
    I use a LUKS encrypted /home partition and need a german locale/charset for the passphrase/during bootup.
    The second charset option is in my /etc/rc.conf:
    LOCALE="de_DE.UTF8"
    KEYMAP="de"
    With those settings I got an almost "normal" keyboard behaviour.
    The Umlaut-Character for example arent´t working during bootup or in a tty. In a later started shell inside of Gnome everything works fine.
    The second charset problem is during password input inside GDM. The layout isn´t working right here either.
    I already tried the ./dmrc settings of Language and Keys, but nothing works.
    Anyone got a clue how to fix that?
    Greets
    Flo

    Maybe you can change the subject of this thread, as the issue is not only related to gdm, IMHO.
    I don't get it either. Settings are LOCALE="sv_SE"  and KEYMAP="sv-latin1" in rc.conf and locale -a gives me
    [root@localhost ~]# locale -a
    C
    POSIX
    sv_SE
    sv_SE.iso88591
    swedish
    But something is still wrong, because calling up some manpages gives me
    Cannot open the message catalog "man" for locale "sv_SE"
    (NLSPATH="<none>")
    I ran locale-gen, but I'm pretty lost in this locale business too...

  • [SOLVED] gnome-screenshot in gnome3 problem

    Hi,
    When I try to take a screen shot using printscr, or in the command line using 
    gnome-screenshot
    I only get a picture of my background.
    $ gnome-screenshot
    ** (gnome-screenshot:1908): DEBUG: The GetProfileForWindow request failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files
    The same thing happens with gcolor2:  When I try to grab a color from a window it returns the color
    from my background instead.
    Using gnome shell's screen cast functionality works just fine.
    Any ideas to how I can fix this?
    Thanks!

    Removing
    Option "Shadow" "True"
    from my xorg configuration solved the problem.
    I enabled this option earlier to troubleshoot a freezing problem (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … tel_driver).

  • Gnome App "Covers" Screen Problem

    I have recently noticed a problem with my Gnome installation. When I start up the machine and log in (I use GDM), If I don't touch the keyboard or mouse after entering my password, the screen will look as if a semi-transparent application starts and covers the entire screen. I run Compiz and have alpha-transparencies blurred. Through the blur I can see the clock in the panel still ticking off the seconds, etc. If I move the mouse, the screen returns to normal. If I wait until the screensaver starts, the screensaver acts normal, and moving the mouse after that results in normal operation as usual.
    I have tried to find out what app (or setting) is responsible for this, but have no more ideas. I have tried:
    1) Running "top" as soon as I log in, but then (since I have touched the keyboard and/or mouse) the problem never occurs.
    2) I have checked for a "hidden" startup app or daemon and can't find anything. I checked both ~/.config/autostart and in the Gnome Startup Apps.
    Does anyone have any other ideas about how to find out what app is doing this?
    Here is a screenshot of what I see:

    What if you run a little script that opens a terminal and runs top automatically at login?

  • GNOME "Root Terminal" / gksu Problem

    Hey all,
    In GNOME, the "Root Terminal" application is having an issue.  I can open it up and it works fine.  If, however, I close that instance and try to open it again, I enter my password and get a minimized "window" titled "Granting Rights" in the taskbar which goes away after a couple of moments and the GNOME Terminal never opens.
    If I run the command "gsku -l gnome-terminal" (from /usr/share/applications/gksu.desktop) in an open terminal, I get the same thing, however the gksu command never completes and I have to control-c it.  Looking at a process list, I note that /usr/lib/libgksu/gksu-run-helper seems to be called by gksu, and when I kill it, gksu pops up a window with the following:
    Failed to run gnome-terminal as user root.
    Failed to communicate with gksu-run-helper.
    Received:
    gksu: waiting
    While expecting:
    gksu: waiting
    Nothing appears in the terminal from a terminal-run instance of gksu.
    Has anyone ever experienced this and/or solved this?
    Thanks,
    David

    The problem has disappeared on the VM, but it gets weirder still.
    I did a fresh install of Arch on my machine (keeping the /home partition, but setting up a fresh, new user to test with), and the problem remains.  But that's not all.  The root terminal still works only the one time, but I found that if I max out all four cores of my machine with "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null" I can get the root terminal to appear every time that I execute it, if I max out three of them, it usually works, and if I max out two of them, it works some of the time.
    There is pretty clearly something going wrong, and I'd bet it's a race condition.

  • GNOME Client Side Decorations Problems

    This is what mine looks like.
    I've tried searching around for other that have had this problem, can't seem it find it. This happened as soon as I installed GNOME 3.10. Has anyone else had this happen to them and/or know how to fix this?

    okay I get it now. that's not how Adwaita is supposed to look like. It's unfortunately quite common that gtk3 themes get broken after gtk3.x version update, and need to be updated. Although if you've installed gnome the official arch way (i.e. with pacman), it should update the themes as well.
    is it possible that you have installed Adwaita in your ~/.themes/ directory. If so gtk applications will use the theme in your home directory instead of the one in /usr/share/themes that should be up to date if you have the latest gnome-themes-standard installed.
    Sorry for the late reply.
    Anyway, no I do not have Adwaita in ~/.themes/. I tried reinstalling gnome-themes too and it fixed it on some windows (such as Firefox and Terminal). Some are still are still broken like Nautilus.

  • Gnome 2.12 panel problem

    Hi,
    Yesterday I installed the Gnome 2.12 from testing, and I can't add certain items to the panel, like the clock, the windows list, the show desktop, the trash and so on, below is the error message after I tried to add the clock for example. The problem is the same for all users, including root.
    ========================
    The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet".
    Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
    ========================
    Is there someone who is able to use these items ?

    I had the same problem and this is how I fixed it: I had a look at all the dependencies of gnome-applets and their dependencies (pacman -Qi) and started to sync what hadn't been sync'ed for whatever reason...the packages that got updated where libwnck and gdbm...
    So I guess running
    $ pacman -Sy libwnck gdbm
    should fix the problem

  • Gnome 3.2 GDM problem

    I just upgraded to Gnome 3.2, but this must have broken something related to GDM. When I should be seeing the login box I just get a dialogue box saying: Failed to load session "gdm-shell". Unusually, nothing turned up on google/the forums about this message. Ideas?
    EDIT: Typo.

    I am not able to use gdm after upgrading to gdm 3.2 . Gdm logs in as user 'gdm' everytime , I am not able to log out of user 'gdm' or swtich user. its really annoying, I tried installing xdm , its working correctly. I tried using the rc.conf daemon to run gdm but it gives the same result. I am using inittab to run gdm.  Right now I am using autologin to login to my user account. Can any one tell me what the problem is ?

  • Solaris 10 x86 cdrw trouble.  Gnome and command line problems writing.

    I'm experiencing general weirdness trying to write CD's and DVD's using a new internal DVD-RW device -- It's a Sony NEC AD 7220 A CD / DVD RW drive on a Solaris 10 x86 AMD system. I have searched far and wide for other threads of similar instances but no one has posted an issue like the one I'm having.
    I have a Sony Optiarc AD 7220 A CD-RW on a x86 AMD Athalon 1.6 ghz based server with 2 GB RAM.
    The DVD-RW drive gets detected by BIOS (Phoenix TrustedCore 2.3) and reads disks fine. I installed Solaris 10.08 from DVD using this DVD-RW drive.
    However, trying to write to new blank media does not work properly, (effectively at all).
    I've tried different brands of brands of blank CD's and CD-R and CD+R (have not tried using CD-RW disks yet). Ditto with DVD's - tried DVD-R and DVD+R's.
    1. Inside the Solaris 10 GUI (Gnome, a.k.a. Java Desktop), when I put in a blank CD-R, a dialog box "Format Media...?" pops up. If I click "Ok" it formats the blank CD and closes the session, CD has been written to and is ruined.
    2. I open a terminal window, as root, and put in a blank CD. "mkisofs –r /home/foo 2>/dev/null | cdrw –i –p 1" will write a directory tree OK, but if I go back into gnome GUI and open and close the CD tray, again, up pops the "Format Media..." dialog box instead of the CD appearing on the desktop. If I restart vold (svcadm restart volfs) then open and close the CD tray, voila, the contents appear on desktop as CD icon.
    3. When I try to write to a DVD-R: "cdrw -i /local/iso_image" It always fails with: Write Track 1....Failed. after a few minutes. It did in fact write part of the .iso but bails out with a failure.
    I've tried various other write commands (specifying the device ID, speed, so on and so forth) and command line switch options (following the rules of course) and it seems to me to be more than a syntax / media issue. However if it is I would like to know. I did see a similar CDRW device on the HCL for OpenSolaris with a 'reported to work' rating. That was for a Optiarc AD-5200A, which is going away thus my company has chosen to use the AD 7220A in speciality racks we build and deliver to the U.S. Navy.
    I really need to get a handle on this CD-RW device issue and decide if a different brand / model is what it's going to take to solve this and move on to producing and delivering these systems in working conditions.

    Sony systems are often very particular about what CD's and DVD's they'll take. I have several Sony systems that I use for video work and they'll read almost anything but they'll only write to DVD RW.  They also don't like cheap brand CD's and DVD's.  Be sure to try both CD RW and DVD RW before doing anything else.  Because of the requirement for DVD RW, they won't take fast speed (16x) DVD's, just 4x. If all of this turns out to be the case, you may want to go with a different manufacturer for the drive, DVD +RW 4x aren't always easy to find in the store.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • Gnome clock and timezone problems

    When I run "date" in the terminal, it says "Wed Sep  3 20:56:39 CST 2008" even though I'm in australia/adelaide. I try setting the timezone from right-clicking the gnome clock, but after I login/out, it just resets to "America/Indiana/Tell City"
    Help?

    I also recommend using ntp.
