I should point out that the gstreamer-plugins-default problem is down to a mismatch of version of libcdio caused by the latter trying to be installed from the packman APT component. If there’s not a new gnome-panel package posted in the next couple of days, I’ll build one against the appropriate evolution-data-server and libwnck. Oh, and …

GNOME 2.11: Whoops!
Oh dear. Inevitably, some of the packages were held back while I was doing my apt upgrade, so I then went to install them afterwards, assuming that they required some new packages, and here’s the result: dhcp1:~ # apt install bug-buddy control-center2 control-center2-devel eel eel-devel evolution evolution-data-server evolution-data-server-devel evolution-devel evolution-pilot evolution-webcal gedit glade gnome-media gnome-media-devel …

More 2.11 shenanigans
Nice one SuSE – GNOME 2.11 packages are now available in supplementary. They’re built against GTK+ 2.6, not 2.7, so it’ll be an interesting comparison with GARNOME. Hopefully now that 2.8 has been anointed as the GTK+ version for 2.12, SuSE’s next set of builds will include this. Anyway, you can add it as a …

GNOME 2.11.90
It’s looking really nice, first thing I’ll say, especially as you can’t see it in the screen shot below is translucent cursors! I suspect this is a cairo thing, and it’s very cool. Utterly unnecessary, but totally cool. As I continue to play around, I’ll post more, but for now, here’s a couple of handy …

2.11.90
2.11.90 is out, baby! Feeeeeel the power – GTK+ 2.7, Cairo, evince, services-admin, gnome-keyring-manager – oh man! It’s available as a GARNOME release, which is currently building on my machine, it’s up to Evolution so far. Once it’s built (and I’ve added geektoys, mono, etc etc) I’ll have to make sure I build the Clearlooks …

London Attacks (10)
It’s finally made it onto the ABC site. This report reports twelve bombs and four detonators (making the sixteen reported yesterday) as having been found in the car at Luton station. There’s a suggestion they were left there for someone else to collect, but this doesn’t seem to hold water – the car was seized …

London Attacks (9)
ABC News: “They bought roundtrip train tickets and paid for long-term parking two of the details that are prompting the intelligence community to question if the four London bombers intended to die.“ Still no mention of the sixteen bombs to be found, I think I shall email Five Live later today to ask about their …

London Attacks (8)
Five Live reported this afternoon that ABC News in the States had stated that police searching the car found at Luton Airport after the attacks on July 7th had found sixteen bombs in the car. This seems to add further weight to the theory that these men did not realise they were going to die, …
