[opensuse-factory] GNOME: please report post /opt/gnome->/usr errors in your $HOME
Hallo. Just now, the move to /usr in Factory and GNOME:UNSTABLE is nearly complete. We are able to test and fix remaining references to /opt/gnome, but there is another problem, which cannot be guessed by any way: References to /opt/gnome in home directories. If your package setup is broken after move and you suspect, that the reason is hadwiring of /opt/gnome in $HOME configuration foles, please report about it. I guess that we have to ignore one time problems, (e. g. linphone forgets predefined ring tones and reverts to defaults, saved session does not find applications), but we should find situation, when application tends to use /opt/gnome forever without any user visible way to fix it or when it loses functions after move by not finding required stuff. We currently have only one known issue opened: tomboy: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=235695 -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Good to hear... as I knew there was ongoing work, I did not look to much on errors in gnome these days... thank you for announcing this here. So let's start to find all these things and report them... Otherwise Stanislav will start to think about a holiday :-) Dominique --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
Hi, I'm sorry the relase 2.16.1 is really unstable? I know that tha gnome unstable brunch is at 2.17.5, why we don't start with the 2.17.x testing?

2.16.1 partially moved to /usr was really unstable. It seems to succeed, so we can start to update to 2.17.x. It should happen soon. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

we could write a script that reads GConf database and replaces /opt/gnome with /usr, as well as common GNOME directories, like .gnome2, .config/autostart, etc Not sure if it's worth the effort if we only have one problem, but if we start getting lots of bugs we might think about writing it. -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo@novell.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

On the other hand, it will fix even mentioned minor issues - correct session restoring, linphone will remember ringtones, nautilus backgrounds etc. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
