some gnome applets didn't work after update

[carragu]

hi

i had installed a fresh copy of sabayon 4.1 32 bit Gnome. anything of the instructions from here are done. (including gnome update from 2.24 to 2.26.1)
but now didn't work some of the gnome applets no longer.

when i will add a applet this is showing (as example):

The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_CPUFreqApplet". Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?

i have reinstalled gnome-applets via equo and emerge but doesn't solve the problem.

any ideas?

I don't have an answer, but I came across the same problem when installing gnome-light from Sabayon 4.1 KDE a few days ago. See the thread on metapackages and desktop environments in this Beginners' Forum as some answers may get posted there too.

If the networkmanager applet isn't working, run, "equo install nm-applet". That doesn't fix the error messages though.

network applet works

i try to copy the configuration files from a new user that i had created over my files but didn't solve the problem. the a new user have the same problems.

and i won't install gnome-light.....there must be another way

edit:

here is now a list with broken applets

GNOME_GeyesApplet
GNOME_BattstatApplet
GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet
GNOME_FishApplet
GNOME_NetstatusApplet
GNOME_DriveMountApplet
GNOME_MultiLoadApplet
GNOME_CPUFreqApplet
GNOME_GWeahtherApplet
GNOME_CharpickerApplet

so something is wrong with the entropy package gnome-applets?

did anyone file a bug?

Most of those are gnome-power-manager applets.
They are in our Skel, and i think gnome-power-manager got removed. Try to reinstall it.

no not at the moment

Most of those are gnome-power-manager applets.
They are in our Skel, and i think gnome-power-manager got removed. Try to reinstall it.

Code: Select all

equo remove gnome-power-manager
equo install gnome-power-manager

didn't solve the problem for me

btw: gnome-power-manager is only available in version 2.24.4-r2 but core gnome is 2.26.1. shouldn't the power manager in version 2.26.1 too?

[wolfden]

nope

Also tried:

Code: Select all

equo remove gnome-power-manager
    equo install gnome-power-manager

Didn't work for me either.

Using 64bit version, if this matters
