RH 7 and upgrade of gnome...a few questions

RH 7 and upgrade of gnome...a few questions

Post by Stev » Wed, 21 Feb 2001 16:59:37



I just upgraded to the latest ximian gnome on my RH 7 install on a Dell
Latitude laptopand can't figure out a few things:
-original gnome had a cool power meter on the launch bar that graphically
represented what APM was showing. After upgrade it is gone. How do I get it
back?
-when I log on as root and start gnome via the startx command I cannot use
screen saver or lock the screen. If I log on as any other user I can and it
seems I'm using Xscreensaver 3.2.5 for both. How can I get this working for
root? I've tried using gnome control p*but that does not do it.
-after the upgrade the launcher for Netscape lost the icon (was
/usr/share/pixmaps/netscape.png I think). I guess the new gnome install
overwrote the directory. Where can I get that icon from?

Thanks for any help

Try Gnomes Panel Applets. Click the Gnome footprint --> Applets --> Monitors --> Battery Charge Monitor

Ximian doesn't override the directory. I changed my icon to the "Globe"
which looks better but someone might email the original Netscape icon to you :-)

1. gnome RPMS suck??? + a few questions

I Installed redhat6 a week ago and fell in love with gnome.
I got the latest and greatest from gnome.org only to find that
they dont compile due to missing config files and sh files.

Had to install everything from the top of the gnome installation
tree (glib). Do rpms clean up after itself or does it just put the
binaries somewhere and forget about it... where are the missing files?

so question 1:

by compiling the sources with prefix=/usr which redhat seems to use, am
i overwriting the RPMed files redhat put there?

This would be good cuz I dont gotta worry about conflicts... but not
sure wat happens in the lib directory...

If not then do I have to uninstall all the offending RPMs first b4 I
compile?

question 2:

wat does ldconfig do?

question 3:

is there anyway to install RPMs with those missing files?

grrr.......

question 4:

wat are all those warnings during compiles?... like
warning, attempted redefinition of something something

dont the developers see those warnings themselves?

anyway... if u got this far, i give u a smooch!!! and f u can answer
any these quesstions then ill give u a bigger one!!! hehe

thx in advance!!!
