Below is a list of known issues with GNOME &gnomever; that are specific to FreeBSD. These are not the only known issues, however. Please familiarize yourself with the GNOME &gnomever; release notes which contains a list of known issues that affect all platforms.
You should follow the instructions for updating to GNOME &gnomever;. This may still produce errors, however. You may have to re-run pkgdb -F after each step. If you continue to encounter errors after following the upgrade instructions, log the entire upgrade procedure (you can use the -l option to portupgrade to accomplish this). Compress and send the log to &email;@FreeBSD.org.
evolution-1.4.4 has a problem with attachments under - GNOME &gnomever;. This will be fixed in Evo 1.4.5 due out shortly. To workaround the problem do the following as root: + GNOME &gnomever;. To work around the problem, do the following, as root:
# ln -s /usr/X11R6/share/icons/gnome/48x48/apps/gnome-unknown.png /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/pixmaps/gnome-unknown.png+
This problem was fixed in evolution-1.4.5, and upgrading to + evolution-1.4.5 is probably the best solution. +
+gstreamer-0.6.3 doesn't play nice with rhythmbox. It is recommended you build rhythmbox with -DWITH_XINE for now. (UPDATE: As of gstreamer-plugins-0.6.3_1, this problem has been resolved.)
GDM may crash on startup, especially on 5.1-RELEASE and earlier. All GDM users need to copy /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/factory-gdm.conf over /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf. The old config version from GNOME 2.2 will not work. Users of 5.1-RELEASE and earlier need to read the pkg-message that comes with the GDM2 port/package on how to patch OpenPAM to work with GDM2.
Gnomemeeting may fail to build if you have ffmepg installed. If you do, remove ffmpeg, then build gnomemeeting, then reinstall ffmpeg if so desired.
