Would like to get the gnome panel functioning. Suggestions, please.
Hi Mikus, I successfully upgraded my 10.0 system using SUSE's supplementary branch, but it was some time back and I've forgotten the details. However, I seem to recall a rather serious conflict with libwnck(spelling?) that would not resolve easily... that and one with evolution-data-server. It's a bit of a slog, but here's how I accomplished it: * add the supplementary GNOME branch to your YaST installation sources * launch the 'Software Management' module * enable the filter "Selections", top-left * turn off "Autocheck" for dependencies * highlight "GNOME system" in the left pane * for each blue (can be upgraded) item in the right pane: - click the checkbox once to enable 'update' - click the "Check Dependencies" button * when "All package dependencies are OK" displays, try the next item * when, instead, a conflict is generated, click "Cancel" and reset to "keep" The goal is to proceed through the entire list of "Gnome system" packages and click "Accept" to upgrade as many as possible without encountering/causing conflicts. Try this procedure and see if it doesn't clear your problem up. For reference, following is the result of an 'rpm -qa | grep gnome' from my 10.0 system. hth & regards, Carl carl@linux:~> rpm -qa | grep gnome gnome-panel-2.12.0-5 python-gnome-2.12.3-18 gnome-utils-2.12.2-35 python-gnome-extras-2.11.3-3 hal-gnome-0.5.4-6.4 gnome-printer-add-1.0.1-16 gnome-doc-utils-0.5.3-15 gnome-pilot-2.0.13-20 gnome-desktop-2.12.2-26 gnome-keyring-0.4.6-21 libgnomeui-2.12.0-30 libgnomecups-0.2.2-21 gnome-menus-2.12.0-32 libgail-gnome-1.1.2-16 gnome-mime-data-2.4.2-22 gnome-nettool-1.4.1-18 gnome-screensaver-2.14.0-25 gnome-netstatus-2.12.0-19 gnome-backgrounds-2.12.2-15 gnome-icon-theme-2.12.1-27 gnome-terminal-2.12.0-23 libgnomesu-1.0.0-33 gnome-session-2.12.0-121 gnome-filesystem-0.1-264 gnome2-user-docs-2.8.1-21 gnome-mag-0.12.2-18 gnome-vfs2-2.12.2-67 gnome-system-monitor-2.12.2-35 libgnomedb-1.3.91-23 gnome-themes-2.12.1-35 libgnomecanvas-2.12.0-19 libgnome-2.12.0.1-30 gnome-cups-manager-0.32cvs20060120-41 xmms-gnome2-0-526 gnome2-SuSE-10.1-31 gnome-volume-manager-1.5.15-28 gnome-games-2.12.2-3 gnome-libs-1.4.1.7-710 gnome-applets-2.12.0-3 libgnomeprint-2.12.1-23 OpenOffice_org-gnome-2.0.0-1.4 libgsf-gnome-1.13.99-15 gnome-keyring-manager-2.12.0-20 gnome-bluetooth-0.6.0-5 gnome-media-2.12.0-7 gnome-audio-2.0.0-134 gnome-speech-0.3.9-18 gnome-spell2-1.0.6-22 libgnomeprintui-2.12.1-20
