Re: updating gnome

2012-07-03 Thread Kristoffer Gustafsson

Hi.
Ok, then I stick with squeeze, since the installer doesn't work at all.
Where can I do a bug repport about this?

Could you look up a thing for me?
Since I'm blind I use a screen reader called orca.
http://live.gnome.org/orca
I want a later version.
/Kristoffer
Could you look up if there is a way to upgrade this?

Squeeze is stable and packages for the stable branch do not tend to be 
updated so much. Even less for the complete desktop environment.

If you want to keep a stable system, I would maintain your current gnome 
version.

Hello All,

I have the following problem with my sarge installation:

When I install a new desktop application and if it has a
correspondent item in a menu, I can see it in debian menu but not in
my gnome menu before I logout and login again. Is there any way to
update gnome menu without logout/login or executing any command? It's
not very "production critical" issue, however it would be very nice
to have this functionality.

Best Regards,

Do you have fam or gamin installed and running?  IIRC one of those is
required for the behaviour you require, at least in the case of Sarge.

The brute-force solution is simply to kill gnome-panel (don't worry,
gnome-session will restart it):

   pkill gnome-panel

But that could cause consternation in a multi-user environment :-)

 

Seems fam partially fixed the problem (I have installed gnome-games for 
testing purposses, menu didn't update before logout/login, however it 
updated as soon as I install gqview). I'll try to do some more tests and 
let you know.


Thank you very much for your helpfull tip.

Best Regards,

George

Greetings George:

Alacarte used to go by the name of smeg.  I'm pretty sure that's what it
was in Sarge.

Try the Alacarte menu editor. It speaks directly to gconf and this 
updates your Gnome menus immediately.

May be you must edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add appropriate
source for gnome 2.4?
