Sabayon 7 gnome first update breaks the system

[Codalunga]

Right after the update the close - minimize - maximize buttons in chromium turned into red squares. Backwards and forwards were red crosses on a white paper (don't know if you get me). Then I rebooted and the login manager was quite different, it looked like something was missing. After the login there was just a blue background, without shell. Icons on the desktop were just blank paper. That's it.

try to force the gdk-pixbuf update:
(as root)

Code: Select all

equo install gdk-pixbuf


as genfool suggested in this thread.

Right now I don't have the problem. After a fresh install no new updates were available, so I thought you removed the update. Is there a problem with my entropy?

[micia]

if there is nothing to fix, there is nothing to be worried about, probably you installed a different Sabayon version, without knowing exactly what you did, it is hard to know if there is something wrong.

Personally I don't see anything wrong about not having any updates on Sabayon 7, a version that has been released just a few days ago.

Maybe you didn't get the point: I installed sabayon like two days ago. Everything worked out of the box and I really appreciate your job There was an update available, and after that one gnome didn't work perfectly. So I decided to install sabayon again, yesterday, with the same dvd. After the installation and the repository configuration, there was no update available. So I thought someone removed that update since I see I'm not the only one with that problem

By "Gnome Breaks" I guess he means that the whole interface vanishes. No top panel, no thing works. only icons remains on an ugly blue background. I had to right click>select background , then jump around to find fallback mode. then log out then the fallback mode is also broken and blotchy.
but it is not happening now. I did a 4th install of sabayon 7 right now it updated and there are no updates now.

kamilnadeem, did this worked for you?

try to force the gdk-pixbuf update:
(as root)

Code: Select all

equo install gdk-pixbuf

I'm running KDE sabayon 7 and last update (gtk) broke my ability to run gtkrellm and sulfurs icons were messed up.
Running the mentioned
equo install gdk-pixbuf
fixed both issues, thanks...

@micia as I said earlier that when I installed sabayon for the 3rd time and again for the 4th time there was no updates. So nothing to fix on Gnome 3.2.

I am not suggesting you any upgrade, my post was in reply to:

I had to right click>select background , then jump around to find fallback mode. then log out then the fallback mode is also broken and blotchy.

Even if you have no updates, if you face that issue (not implying that you are currently facing it), force the installation of that package, even if it is not reported by entropy as an update.

My question was just to verify if, when you actually had those issues, you tried that solution and if it worked for you or not.
