Presenting GNOME 2.24 for FreeBSD.
See http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/ for the general
release notes. On the FreeBSD front, this release introduces Fuse support
in HAL, adds multi-CPU support to libgtop, WebKit updates, and fixes some
long-standing seahorse and gnome-keyring bugs. The documentation updates
to the website are forthcoming.
This release features commits by adamw, ahze, kwm, mezz, and myself. It would

To enable +this feature, copy the included %%LOCALBASE%%/share/hal/mount-fuse script +to /sbin. Make sure this script is executable. Edit the script, and change +the FUSE_HELPER environment variable to the name of the executable which +will actually mount the Fuse volume (e.g. for NTFS, this is ``ntfs-3g''). + +Finally, the script must be renamed to ``mount_FSNAME''. FSNAME is the name +of the file system type (e.g. for NTFS, this is ``ntfs''). If there is +already an executable in /sbin or /usr/sbin with this name, the +existing executable must be renamed or deleted. + +As is stated in the examples above, overriding FreeBSD's existing NTFS +support with Fuse's ntfs-3g is the most common use case for this. The +ntfs-3g Fuse driver uses different mount options than FreeBSD's included +mount_ntfs. GNOME transparently supports switching between ntfs and +ntfs-3g. Simply edit the following GConf key in the GNOME +Configuration Editor (i.e. gconf-editor): + +/system/storage/default_options/ntfs/fstype_override + +Set the value to ``ntfs-3g'', then add your desired ntfs-3g options to the +following GConf key: + +/system/storage/default_options/ntfs-3g/mount_options + +Other desktop systems may have similar options. |
