Hi, Thought people might be interested to know that I've built .rpm and .src.rpm packages of Galeon 1.2.0 for SuSE. They're built against the Mozilla 0.9.9 packages from ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla (hooray for them - I really am too lazy to do Mozilla builds too) You can grab them from http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk/galeon.html James -- James Ogley, Unix Systems Administrator, Pinnacle Insurance Plc james.ogley@pinnacle.co.uk www.pinnacle.co.uk +44 (0) 20 8731 3619 Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 7.x) This email was created and sent with Ximian Evolution 1.0.2 NEW: Advogato diary at www.advogato.org/person/riggwelter *********************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY.

I didn't need 'em thanks to your instructions for compiling Galeon from the source. :-) However, one side effect occured, no menus appeared when I started Galeon; I had to right click on some text, select preferences, and turn them on from there. Did your rpms solve this problem? -- "He's the kind of man for the times that need the kind of man he is ..."

Unknown, captain. I didn't experience that issue when I was just running my self-built install of 1.2.0...

I tried installing it from the RPMs, and although I got some menus I didn't get the toolbar with the back, forward, etc. buttons. I had to add it manually. -- To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load.

Hmmm, can you try using Galeon from the RPMs with a fresh user?

I just did, I created a new user, and launched it into GNOME to see if that would fix things. (I was installing under KDE when I first installed it.) What happened is that Galeon installed fine, none of the previous toolbar problems, but running it made the GNOME desktop icons disappear and it took a long time to start. When I tried to delete the test user with YAST2 (the lazy way, I know), I ended up not being able to delete the user because it thought it was still logged in. (Maybe I wouldn't have detected this if I had used a command line tool or the one with vi.) I had to kill two processes, GConf and something else, in order to delete it after the test user was logged out. One of the processes needed -9 to kill. -- "By the time they had diminished from 50 to 8, the other dwarves began to supect 'Hungry' ..." -- Gary Larson, "The Far Side"

Galeon does leave GConf's daemon running, this isn't a specific issue with these RPMs, I suspect there's a good reason (probably that Galeon isn't the only thing that uses GConf, so the daemon is just started) The other process was probably oafd - this is another Gnome system daemon, the bugs here are really in gconfd-1 and oafd - they should close when a user ends his/her Gnome session. I suspect they're in the Gnome bugzilla, but I don't know for sure... -- James Ogley, Unix Systems Administrator, Pinnacle Insurance Plc james.ogley@pinnacle.co.uk www.pinnacle.co.uk +44 (0) 20 8731 3619 Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 7.x) This email was created and sent with Ximian Evolution 1.0.2 NEW: Advogato diary at www.advogato.org/person/riggwelter *********************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY.

None, they disappeared from the GNOME desktop.

That's usually no problem I think, but since these tasks were started by my test user, trying to delete it with Yast2 didn't work until I killed the processes. -- What is a magician but a practising theorist? -- Obi-Wan Kenobi
