<p><b>What is new in GNOME &gnomever;?</b></p>
|

<!-- A1 -->
|
||||
<p>Although the canonical summary of new features can be found at
|
||||
<a
|
||||
href="http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/&gnomever;/">http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/&gnomever;/</a>,
|
||||
some of the most exciting new features of GNOME &gnomever; are:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>A new updated hal port has been included which provides
|
||||
video4linux support, DRM (Direct Rendering) support, and
|
||||
improved removable media handling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Cheese, a webcam application in the same vein as Apple's
|
||||
Photobooth has been included. Cheese allows you to take
|
||||
pictures and videos with your webcam.</li>
|
||||
<li>Metacity now supports window compositing.</li>
|
||||
<li>A new VNC client, vinagre, has been integrated.</li>
|
||||
<li>Work has gone into speeding up certain applications like
|
||||
Evolution and Nautilus.</li>
|

</ul>

|
||||
<p><b>How do I upgrade to GNOME &gnomever;?</b></p>
|
||||
<!-- A2 -->
|
||||
<p>The answer is relatively simple:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>To build GNOME &gnomever;, you need to obtain the latest
|
||||
ports tree skeleton. This is most easily accomplished with
|
||||
<tt>portsnap(8)</tt> or <a
|
||||
href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html">CVSup</a>. Simply obtain the latest ports tree, and you are
|
||||
ready to go. Then do the following:</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
# pkgdb -Ff
|
||||
# portupgrade -f gstreamer-plugins-good
|
||||
# pkg_deinstall -fO gnome-applets\* totem\* gnome-control-center\*
|
||||
# portupgrade -aOW
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>NOTE:</b> it is recommended to run <b>portupgrade
|
||||
-a</b> to make sure you get all the necessary ports.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you are a <tt>portmaster(8)</tt> user, make sure you have
|
||||
least 1.9 version. Then do the following:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
# portmaster -a
|
||||
# portmaster gstreamer-plugins-good
|
||||
# pkg_delete -f gnome-applets\* totem\* gnome-control-center\* \
|
||||
gnome-keyring-manager\*
|
||||
# portmaster -a
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
<p><b>The upgrade failed; what do I do?</b></p>
|
||||
<!-- A3 -->
|
||||
<p>Unfortunately, this is not only possible, it is highly probable. There are many possible
|
||||
valid GNOME configurations, and even more invalid starting points. If the script fails,
|
||||
follow the instructions in the error message to let the FreeBSD GNOME team know about the
|
||||
failure.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The majority of build failures will be dependency-related issues. One simple way to resolve
|
||||
the problem is to remove the offending port, re-run <tt>portupgrade</tt> or <tt>portmaster</tt>, and then
|
||||
reinstall the port when the upgrade process is complete.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Q4 -->
|
||||
<li style="padding-bottom: 0.5em"><a name="q4"></a>
|
||||
<p><b>List of GNOME &gnomever; problems and their solutions</b></p>
|
||||
<!-- A4 -->
|
||||
<p>Although GNOME &gnomever; is certainly the best release to date (of course), there are
|
||||
a couple regressions that slipped in, both in the GNOME code and in its implementation
|
||||
within FreeBSD. Some of the more visible issues are:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Auto-mounting has changed with GNOME &gnomever;. In order
|
||||
to support the new auto-mounting system, you must make sure
|
||||
that <tt>gnome-volume-manager</tt> is no longer trying to
|
||||
mount removable media. To do this, run the following
|
||||
commands:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
% gconftool-2 -s --type bool /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/automount_drives false
|
||||
% gconftool-2 -s --type bool /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/automount_media false
|
||||
% gconftool-2 -s --type bool /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autobrowse false
|
||||
% gconftool-2 -s --type bool /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autoplay_cda false
|
||||
% gconftool-2 -s --type bool /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autoplay_dvd false
|
||||
% gconftool-2 -s --type bool /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autoplay_vcd false
|
||||
% gconftool-2 -s --type bool /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autoprinter false
|
||||
</pre></li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><b>HAL</b> can not unmount and reset the da[0-9] devices
|
||||
associated with USB disks when you manually detach them from
|
||||
the system. Manually removing a USB umass device while it
|
||||
is mounted can result in a panic. This is a known bug in FreeBSD.
|
||||
