another little report, totem-plparser need recompil with your latest gmime package, maybe totem also.
latest gnome-settings-daemon package need recompil with pulseaudio3.

ok I see, we will switch back to pulseaudio 2.1 because of compilling the bas with it, and this will make us go ahead with a stable desktop quicker.

accountsservice-0.6.29, is buggy, probably, use the new 0.6.30 version is better, i use this new version without problem.

Only work in fallback mode here, i have already said to you:

(gnome-session need probably this patch for gdm work correctly on slackware based distro:

https://projects.archlinux.org/svnto.../gnome-session

)

dropline-gnome work correctly on slackware with my gnome-session package for zenwalk, with this patch

gmgf · 01-21-2013, 03:17 AM

this problem, does not affect dropline, when you start it with startx, it's just related with gdm.

gmgf · 01-21-2013, 03:26 AM

the root authentication problem in the gnome-control-center application, is still present,

polkit slackware package need this patch:

http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patc...up-wheel.patch

or need to change in the polkit 50-localauthority.conf file

AdminIdentities=unix-group:wheel

to

AdminIdentities=unix-user:0

gmgf · 01-21-2013, 03:52 AM

Another personal suggestion is to push the xinitrc.gnome in the gnome-session package, because it's in the gdm package

and gdm, is not concerned by this file.

gmgf, I have issues with gnome-session.
in my vm it goes into fallback (which is normal), but on my desktop is runs normal.
what I can see from your patch is that it diregards the hardware acceleration and not uses fallback mode in any case.
correct me if this iss wrong.

This patch removes the use of root authentication.
this patch will be considered by the devs.

gmgf · 01-22-2013, 04:14 AM

This polkit patch change

-AdminIdentities=unix-group:wheel

to

+AdminIdentities=unix-user:0

unix-user:0, is the 'root' user, on unix or linux

gmgf · 01-22-2013, 04:23 AM

the gnome-session-3.3.1-llvmpipe.patch, is for 'gnome-session' package, it make gdm work correctly , without this patch, 'gdm', and 'gnome-shell' run in fallback mode, here, on radeon card, with the xorg ati driver, i don't
have tested with other hardware because i have only radeon card.

this patch is used, by archlinux, fedora and probably, many other distro.

This patch would mean we change the way slackware works.
give everyone root access.
It should be up to the Administrator of the server who to give this access.
If you would like to give users the access in changins settings, adding printers etc.
You should put them into the group wheel, or they should know the root password.

Hi gmgf,

can you see if the gnome-session packages works for you.

http://dropline.omgwtfroflol.com/3.6...-2dlba.txz.md5

Please note that if we include this patch, than fallback mode is completly ommited.
software rendering for gnome-shell might be slow, specially when used in VM.
