Re: [expert] gnome questions
Bill, I have Ximian(Helix)-gnome installed and I have the preview .8 version of evolution installed. BTW, it looks real nice and is exactly what I am looking for, if I could get the pilot sync to work. Also, when I looked at the README about compiling evolution it has a section where it needs to configured for pilot syncing. Do you know if that was enabled by default with the .8 preview release? I have conduits in my pilot-link menu choices, but when I select one gnome-panel opens and no evolution conduits appears with the others. You also commented that the 1/1/3 build is the stable one. Are there rpms/src rpms for that? If so where can I get them, if not where can I get the source that you are refering to for the 1/13 build? All web searches are taking me tow ww.helixcode.com/apps/evolution.php3 and I am not finding much off of that. I have a slight instability with gnome, mostly I suddenly get save you self stopped running and until I select remove program it keeps coming up every minute or so. I did a compare of required packages and what I have, the only one less than the stated version is gnome-vfs. I have .42 installed and evolution page states .5. Could this be causing issue with the pilot sync? I also, don't seem to have a package called gnome-xml installed. I would love to get this going, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions I would appreciate them. Thanks again for all your help, Jerry S.

Re: [expert] gnome questions
For both Nautilus and evolution I tried the update scripts. I started helix-update, connected to the evolution snapshot site. The version they were offering was dated 12/29/00. I get "There were conflicts attempting to install this update: libgtkhtml.so.4- is needed by perl-GTK-GtkHTML-0.7003-4mdk. Since I am not sure if any programs are relying on it so I don't want to UN-install it. For Nautilus I get the script from the eazel site and run sh ./eazel-installer.sh. It connects to the servers and I step through the dialogs. Right before it start to download rpms it tells me Mandrake 7.2 isn't a supported release. So I download the redhat 6.2 rpms as previously mentioned and give them a run through and get dependency errors relating to rpm, libbz2.so.0, bonobo, libbonobo.so, libefs.so, libghttp, Gconf and gnome-vfs all being need by various packages. I download the devel package like they suggest and they don't want to install either I think at this point I can live with out Nautilus, it looked nice enough to try, but I am disappointed with Evolution. I really wanted to give that a run since it seems look like it is what I am after. O the quandaries, should I stop while I still have a functioning system or push the edge a little further? I am begining to think if I want this to work I am looking at source code and compiles :( On Monday 12 February 2001 20:27, Bill Piety wrote: > What rpm's did you dl & try to install?

Re: [expert] gnome questions
What rpm's did you dl & try to install? When I started this, I brought all Helix rpms up to the version on the Helix website pkg list. Then I dl'd & got Nautilus up & running. Once there, I dl'd just the Evo rpm to see what dependency issues might still exist. Only 2 other pkgs to install at that point. The stable Evo version is from 1/13. I'm waiting for a concensus from the list as to the next one to grab. I've made this my day-to-day mail app and can't afford stability issues.

Re: [expert] gnome questions
I download the redhat 6.2 rpms from the Nautilus site, when I tried to do the install the using rpm -Uhv --replacepkgs *.rpm I got lib errors. So I downloaded all the devel packages as well and tried to give them a run, some of the lib error when away. But many still exists. I did the helix-update and gimp was the only package that needed to be upgraded, so I did it. But that didn't make a difference. BTW I did a "development" install of Mandrake 7.2, so that may be why there are a lot of lib's still causing conflicts. I really don't like doing no-dep installs, so I may just let this stop at helix for now. :( On Monday 12 February 2001 11:41, Bill Piety wrote: > Go ahead and get Nautilus running with no deps or issues.

Re: [expert] gnome questions
I did a test install on my second machine, which fortunately was my prvious client, so usb and all was configured and working on that pc. So I moved my craddle over and gave it a test after the install. The sync was a no-go. After much trial and error, I tried downloading the source rpm for gnome-pilot helix style and recompiled with the visor=yes option. That nailed it. The sync worked. I still have an issue with cards not being updated and it times out when backing up advantgo, heck the conduit does even work. So we could say I have 3 problems, but the malsync is the lowest on my list. I figured I would then use the helix-update give evolution user preview a run, I got dependency errors when it went to install. So I bagged the evolution stuff for the moment. I may give Nautilus a shot and then go back to evolution. I still have decided if I am going to put this on my main client yet I got lucky and figured out how to add gnome to the kdm menu, then I saw an an email that pass through this group yesterday that detailed how to get helix-gnome into the kdm menu. It was exactly the same steps I followed. Sort of I put the wrong exec in the first time. I have sound on the other machine, but is running a sound blaster live card and that thing has never missed on Mandrake. The machine with no sound under gnome has the intel on-board sound card.

Re: [expert] gnome questions
I tried the Ximian Gnome install too; it was hard to do because the d/l of the files using their automated installer kept hanging and needing to be restarted. Once I had everything d/l'd and installed, I made the ?mistake of telling it to keep my current login manager (kdm); when I tried to relog in, neither gnome nor sawfish were in the choices for desktops. I also tried d'l'ing just Evolution to install just that (I have all the base gnome libraries installed from the original MDK install, so I figured I had the support libraries I would need, but was put off by the negativity of the install README, so I decided to bail and wait until version 1.0 comes out. On thing I do note, though, is when I log in to gnome from kdm, I do seem to have sound ...

Re: [expert] gnome questions
I am using the stock gnome that came with 7.2. I have been thinking about giving the Ximian stuff a try, but the installer doesn't reference Mandrake 7.2, it stops at 7.1. If I use the installer and let it update the system will I trash anything? I seem to recall seeing mixed comments about this on this list. I can live without the sound if I get the other functionality I want. Both would be nice :) Be a little patient with me on this, I have never been a Gnome user. I would need to do First a Helix install then a Natutilus install and then evolution. Or can I grab them all from 1 place in 1 shot?

Re: [expert] gnome questions
I have a stable Ximian (Helix) Gnome, with Nautilus & Evolution (which is great). According to the Evo mailing lists, the pilot sync'ing works - don't have one myself. Are you using the stock CD Gnome? If so it may be worth your time to 'upgrade'. As for the sound in Gnome, for some reason I have to keep Gmix active for sound - that's a mystery I haven't been able to solve. I'm using Alsa drivers for my AC97, but check a mixer anyway. Doesn't seem to matter which wm I try, either.

[expert] gnome questions
I have a stock 7.2 install, X 4.02, all the update patches except for cups. I keep getting dependency errors when I try to install that. Another issue for another time. Does anyone have a stable gnome? I installed, both KDE and Gnome, I have full sound in KDE, none in gnome. When ever I exit gnome x-windows crashes. I compiled gnome-pilot with --enable-usb-visror=yes and gnome-pilot-conduits. I can get the visor to sync and get the user name, however, it errors on the office conduits when attempting a sync. When I try to configure any of the other conduits, it crashes and complains it is mis-configured. I am looking for a way to use my visor info in an intergrated desktop and gnome appeared to be ahead on this, but the issue with the desktop stability is not leaving a good impression. While jpilot is a nice application and functions well, it doesn't give me all I want. Any thoughts, suggestions? BTW on an old install, I didn't have much luck with kpilot so I figures I would give gnome a shot. Thanks, Jerry
