Greetings Gentooers! |
| 2 |
It has now been some time since the official Gnome 2.0.2 release, and |
| 3 |
we are now confident about the quality of "our" Gnome 2.0.2 release. |
| 4 |
Confident enough to release it to the public. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
This release has been tested on all our major platforms, x86, ppc and |
| 7 |
sparc64. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The long awaited news in this release is the menu editing. simply open |
| 10 |
applications:// in nautilus (or select the start-here icon on the |
| 11 |
default desktop) and there you can edit the menu entries as any other |
| 12 |
part of your filesystem. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The main Gnome 2.0 site is here : |
| 15 |
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.0/ |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
And theese are the release notes: |

Notes for users: |
| 22 |
** To get letters like åäö in gnome-terminal: |
| 23 |
export KEYMAP="se-latin1" |
| 24 |
gnome-terminal |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
or set it in your ~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile or equivalent (depends on |
| 27 |
your shell) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
** If gnome-terminal doesn't launch properly: |
| 30 |
make sure you have a correct and valid shell in /etc/passwd for that |
| 31 |
user. the shell should be the whole path and shell name. ie "/bin/bash" |
| 32 |
and -not- "bash" |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
and last, but far from least. to update to gnome 2.0.2 simply type: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
emerge rsync |
| 39 |
emerge -u gnome |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
whereas from a system without gnome installed, it is simply: |
| 43 |
emerge rsync |
| 44 |
emerge gnome |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Good luck, and enjoy your new Gnome 2.0.2 Desktop! |
