Changes introduced with the first login after update
Nothing was removed, but the configuration in there seems to no longer be used.
Why?
I guess I should have mentioned... The before-update screenshot was taken on my desktop box, that still hasn't been updated, whereas the post-update one was taken on the laptop. That's why the resolutions are different. The .gconf* and .gnome* directories' contents were identical before I logged in after the update. Hmm... Could the fact that I was logged in on the desktop when I rsynced the config dirs to the laptop have broken the update? I'll try logging out before the rsync next. Nope, no difference. if you make any changes to ~/.gconf make sure that gconfd-2 is not running at the time. Confirmed, it wasn't running at the time I made the changes. gnome-panel-2.3.90-1 fixed it for me, so I assume it was the same problem as bug 102530 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 102530 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: Updating a Severn full install (without any previous updates related with gnome) to everything new in Sept 1st's RHN severn-updates channel causes the next login to have all gnome-panel customizations to be dropped. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.3.7-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Customize gnome-panel on vanilla Severn 2.Update to current Severn updates 3.Log in again Actual Results: gnome-panel configurations are all gone Expected Results: I suppose they should have been preserved Additional info: I'll attach a screenshot of the previous panel, the uncustomized panel, my original .gconf/apps/panel contents, and the diffs introduced during the first log in.
