[arch-general] Gnome - Nautilus and Evolution, Fresh Install
I have just completed a new install using the latest Install/Live CD 2009.02 I followed the Beginners Guide (exactly :) including the update. I continued until I finished with install Xorg and Gnome. After setting up .xinitrc to run Gnome I issued a startx to start Xorg and Gnome. 1. When clicking the "Users home dir icon" to launch Nautilus and browsing to test it, I then clicked the "X" to stop the app from running ( upper right on the window ) Nautilus crashed and Gnome restarted, cleared the desktop (refreshed) and generated a bug report to be set to gnome.org (via bug buddy). 2. After installing Evolution ans running the app I made some errors when I initially set it up for my imap server. Clicking/running from the Edit->Preferences menu caused evolution to crash and generating a bug report. I can not use the Edit->Preferences menu at all, making the evolution installation worthless as I can not change any settings. How stable is Gnome on Arch Linux? I need to move from KDE3 to Gnome until KDE4 is finished and debugged. Comments/Fixes Anyone? Thanks

I have personally not had that problem. What architecture are you on?

This is likely to be an evolution problem rather than a general Gnome problem. In my experience evolution is, unfortunately, broken on many distros.

I've been using it since I installed Arch and have had no stability issues with it. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

i686. It is an old AMD 2500+ with 2G RAM

I don't use it, but my understanding is "very stable". If you're having issues, I'd bet it's something about your configuration.
I need to move from KDE3 to Gnome until KDE4 is finished and debugged.
Comments/Fixes Anyone?
Thanks
FYI - you don't *have* to use GNOME if you don't want to. There's an external project that still maintains working KDE3 packages for Arch: http://chakra-project.org/download-kdemod3.html HTH, DR
