[brunox69]

I'm Running Sabayon Gnome updated.
Hi i`m having some trouble with gnome, after some updates the gnome panel do not appear all the stuff like nm-applet runs (although i can`t see them) running it form terminal gives this message?

$ killall gnome-panel
$ gnome-panel
gnome-panel gnome-panel-screenshot
$ gnome-panel
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado
Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.

Hi brunox69,
...my friend has the same problem with x86_64G and all the latest updates.
While on my machine I have no problem!

Do not know if this can help, but try to delete the old configuration of Gnome (I know it's a bit brutal ... but maybe helpful):

1. CTRL+ALT+F1 and login.

2. delete Gnome configuration folder and subfolder from your home by:

Code: Select all

rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd

3. try reboot or CTRL+ALT+F7.

bye

Thanks man now i have the panel again. but the Sabayon customization has gone, if I copy files that I deleted from a live cd is everything go back to Sabayon default?

[alonsoty]

Well, yes (though this too is a bit brutal)...
I hope it's not some setting that is poorly digested by the different versions of Gnome.

You can also return as before by selecting themes and fonts from System -> Preferences -> Appearance.
While set directly from the panel the original applets that were present..

Ciao

The original settings you can find in the folder /etc/skel, copy them from there to your home folder, but don't forget to take over the ownership of the files/folders via chmod after copying.

[alonsoty]

True, I always forget this folder!

Thanks k4ph
