<p>Below is a list of known issues with GNOME &gnomever; that are
|
|
specific to FreeBSD. These are not the only known issues,
|
|
however. Please familiarize yourself with the GNOME &gnomever;
|
|
<a href="http://www.gnome.org/start/&gnomever;/notes/">
|
|
release notes</a> which contains a
|

<a href="http://www.gnome.org/start/&gnomever;/notes/rnknownissues.html">
|
|
list</a> of known issues that affect all platforms.</p>

<h3>1. Upgrading from GNOME 2.2 to &gnomever; is tricky</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> You should follow the
|
|
<a href="http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q5">
|
|
instructions</a> for updating to GNOME &gnomever;. This may
|
|
still produce errors, however. You may have to re-run
|
|
<tt>pkgdb -F</tt> after each step. If you continue to
|
|
encounter errors after following the upgrade instructions,
|
|
log the entire upgrade procedure (you can use the <tt>-l</tt>
|
|
option to <tt>portupgrade</tt> to accomplish this).
|
|
<b>Compress</b> and send the log to
|
|
<a href="mailto:&email;@FreeBSD.org">&email;@FreeBSD.org</a>.

<h3>2. evolution has a problem with attachments under GNOME &gnomever;</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> evolution-1.4.4 has a problem with attachments under
|
|
GNOME &gnomever;. This will be fixed in Evo 1.4.5 due out shortly. To workaround the problem do the following as root:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
# ln -s /usr/X11R6/share/icons/gnome/48x48/apps/gnome-unknown.png /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/pixmaps/gnome-unknown.png
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>3. gstreamer doesn't play nice with rhythmbox</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> gstreamer-0.6.3 doesn't play nice with rhythmbox. It is
|
|
recommended you build rhythmbox with <tt>-DWITH_XINE</tt> for
|
|
now.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>4. GDM crashes on startup</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>GDM may crash on startup, especially on 5.1-RELEASE and
|
|
earlier. All GDM users need to copy
|
|
<tt>/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/factory-gdm.conf</tt> over
|
|
<tt>/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf</tt>. The old
|
|
config version from GNOME 2.2 will not work. Users of
|
|
5.1-RELEASE and earlier need to read the <tt>pkg-message</tt>
|
|
that comes with the GDM2 port/package on how to patch OpenPAM
|
|
to work with GDM2.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>5. gnomemeeting fails to build</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Gnomemeeting may fail to build if you have ffmepg installed.
|
|
If you do, remove ffmpeg, then build gnomemeeting, then
|
|
reinstall ffmpeg if so desired.</p>
