It tries to open the console before running udev, which causes problems. (I've had this happen to me before.)

They're running Solaris, mind, but I was tired of not knowing anything about grub2 so I installed it for myself. I'll make up a package for it and lvu submit it when I get around to it. The biggest impact in adding grub 2 support is that grub 2 has a different menu file format (and it's now in grub.cfg, not menu.lst, which could actually make things simpler) so updating the menu on a kernel upgrade would be different. Ubuntu's default grub.cfg file is 153 lines long! (Also, they quietly switched to grub 2 in 9.10, much to the annoyance of quite a lot of users.) --Dave From maintainer at lunar-linux.org Fri Jan 15 12:35:43 2010 From: maintainer at lunar-linux.org (maintainer at lunar-linux.org) Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:35:43 +0100 (CET) Subject: weekly news - 20100115 Message-ID: <20100115113543.1C6E1F331E@doppio.foo-projects.org> Hi!

Here are few fixes you can do to fix this total disaster. After removal of kde3 and qt3 gtk apps will refuse to work or will work partially in kde4 and qt4. The typical bug is when you use kde4 and in firefox/seamonkey/thunderbird you try to open/save any file these apps will crash. How to workaround them: Firefox - in address field (here where you usually type in http:// address) type in about:config In filter bar type in: ui.allow_platform_file_picker If the ui.allow_platform_file_picker is listed change it value from true to false. If nothing was found right click in the window and from context menu choose: New->Boolean preference name: ui.allow_platform_file_picker value: false Seamonkey - the same steps like in firefox Thunderbird - menu "Edit"->"Preferences"->"Advanced" tab->"General" tab->"Config Editor..." button In filter bar type in: ui.allow_platform_file_picker If the ui.allow_platform_file_picker is listed change it value from true to false. If nothing was found right click in the window and from context menu choose: New->Boolean preference name: ui.allow_platform_file_picker value: false gimp - I have no idea yet how to fix this app. other gtk apps - I have no idea yet how to fix them.

How to workaround them: This was talked about in irc not so long ago by other having that problem. However, I have not had that problem with firefox or thunderbird. Not that I use the later, only installed it to assist with some debugging for others in irc. > > Firefox - in address field (here where you usually type in http:// address) > type in about:config In filter bar type in: ui.allow_platform_file_picker > If the ui.allow_platform_file_picker is listed change it value from true to > false.

The Red Hat folks seems to think its an upstream issue; https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486122 and tried the fix from here; https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=130319&action=diff But it did not fix anything; perhaps it requires more than Red Hat or the gimp folks suspected. Looking in the gimp-2.6.8 source the GTK_DISABLE_DEPRICIATED is there, so apparently that did not help much. I have had gimp crash on me in the past over script-fu, even in my kde3 days. So its still an upstream issue afaic.
