While the installation conflict is now resolved, after installation
the GNOME:STABLE desktop is as broken as ever.
- Starting from GDM:
There was an error loading the theme GDM-SuSE
Could not recognize the image file format for file '/usr/share/gdm/themes/GDM-Su
SE/Background.jpeg'
That background file is standard JPEG!
And then the GNOME splash screen is just blank, none of the icons are
loaded, the theme is some default Raleigh-esque thing that looks
mid-90s, and NetworkManager is not working:
The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources. It cannot cont
inue.
SLAB menu is empty too.
/opt/gnome still has about 30+ MB of stuff (some of it are mine, total
is about 36MB), including some that should really be in GNOME:STABLE.
For example, /opt/gnome/bin has the following:
application-browser gconftool-2 liferea-bin
control-center gidlgen tomboy
desktop-file-install gnome-xgl-info tomboy-panel
desktop-file-validate gnome-xgl-settings update-desktop-database
drivel gnome-xgl-switch valac
f-spot kino vapigen
f-spot-import liferea xchat-gnome
f-spot-sqlite-upgrade liferea-add-feed
We are only less than two months away from openSUSE 10.3. The testing
resources is not there to justify a rebase of G:C (from the status of
G:S 10.2 packages I'm guessing I am the only packager that has even
tried it?)..
How many of G:C packages won't build against an older GNOME? It seems
standard operating procedure for me to gradually decrease support for
older releases, rather than having to backport more and more stuff --
a testing nightmare, as both developer and userbase for the older
releases dwindle.
Going back *yet again* to a stock 10.2 + G:C GNOME setup..
