Gnome 2.4 video thumbnail

I read reviews and saw that Gnome 2.4 is capable of video thumbnailing.  I
used garnome to upgrade my Gnome 2.2 to 2.4.  I installed Totem, installed
gstreamer, nautilus-media and all.  But when I get to nautilus views, only
choices are list and icons.  Nothing that says anything about video
thumbnails.  Any suggestions?  This is one of the reasons that I upgraded my
gnome in the first place.

I also noticed that after the upgrade, seems to me that my fonts in the
desktop looked better, even the ones used by the appications.  Is this
observation correct?

GNOME 2.0 on Solaris - anyone worked on this environment?

I'm trying to figure out how to get standard GNOME utilities to work
and code to build.

What I am finding is this:

$ pkg-config --cflags libgnomeui-2.0
sh: gnome-config: not found
Package libxml-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxml-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libxml-2.0', required by 'Bonobo Activation', not found

However, when I checked with my sys admins, they have indicated they
installed what Sun provided for GNOME.

It sounds to me as if _something_ is missing - anyone familar enough
with the sun setup to know what it might be?

Maybe your admins (or SUN) did not provide the development packages. On
linux there is generally a runtime package (e.g. libxml so that a
libxml-using app can _run_) and a development package (e.g. libxml-devel
so that you can build a libxml-using app from source) with headers, .pc
files, etc.

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll ask again, specifically asking about
things like libxml-devel, libglade-devel or perhaps gnome-devel.

However, looking at the sun.com web page, I see only one package mentioned
as relating to gnome on solaris.  And in fact with this one package
there are a few header files, several libraries, and even a _few_
.pc files - just not one for libxml .

Well, in my short experience i have found all the packages required to
work with gnome, in http://xmlsoft.org you can find the libxml source
code, of course you must have a c compiler and other utilities needed to

*Upgrade*? Did u install _over 2.2? Bad idea

I have no views either, it just works. Thumbnailers should be listed in
gconf: gnome->desktop->thumbnailers. Be aware that they eat *lots* of
CPU

Thor's Day is Now Bug Day

At least in my little corner of Boston. Join us again in irc.gnome.org's
#bugs to pound on bugzilla and help bring the bug count in the right
direction. 

If you haven't heard of Bug Day before, but are curious, lots of
questions and answers are on our web page at
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/triage/faq.html#II

The most important thing is that bug day is a great way for virtually
everyone with 1/2 hour on their hands to contribute to GNOME, even in a
small way.

Hours tomorrow will be 0900EST (1500GMT) and when I have to leave for
class (probably around 1700EST, 2300GMT.) Others may be around later.

Hope to see lots of people there-
Luis

Re: GNOME 2.0 on Solaris - anyone worked on this environment?

Hi,

libxml2 was shipped with Solaris before GNOME (and so before
pkgconfig) Therefore the .pc was not included originally.
You need one of these patches depending on your Solaris version:

	114014-03, 114015-03, 114814-01, 114815-01

HTH,

Laca

New to gnome

I just installed gnome 2.4 with Gentoo.  I've noticed a couple of things
that are somewhat irrating off-hand.
1. When moving to workspaces it would be nice to wrap-around
workspaces.  I.E. When moving to the right, 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 1
,etc...
2. The same as #1 but in gnome-terminal, moving between tabs.
3. In Evolution, can you alter the email headers layout?  I would prefer
to remove certain headers from being displayed.

The correct place to put wishes/bugs is in bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ for the workspaces thing and gnome-terminal,
and http://bugzilla.ximian.com for Evolution) Please do search the
corresponding databases, as (at least the first 2 of) those wishes are
already there: even though bugzilla is not vote-based, you may find out
what has been discussed abut those points.

Cheers,
