I'm running a fresh i386 4.7 install and have attempted to install Gnome and GDM. Here are some issues I've had:
1. I believe in the past, gnome-session installed all the required components to run Gnome, but that wasn't the case with me. Installing gnome-session from packages did not install metacity or nautilus. If nautilus isn't installed, gnome will not start correctly. It's possible that I did something wrong here, though. Is there some other package I should be installing to get all the required components installed as well? 2. When I installed metacity manually, it would not run, complaining that it could not find a libgtop shared object library file. Installing the libgtop2 package fixed this, but libgtop2 should probably be added as a metacity dependency. 3. I installed the gvfs-smb package and connected to a windows share successfully. However, when I try to copy a file from the windows share to my local computer I get the following error: "Error in stream protocol: Error reading from unix: Resource temporarily unavailable", and then the file is created on the local drive but is empty. I was bitten by this same issue in OpenBSD 4.6 (running Gnome 2.24), but I figured it would be fixed now. It isn't. Any ideas? Thanks, Adam
