I can confirm this happens to me too. Sabayon 2.25.0 on up to date Fedora 11 x86_64. Logfiles attached above.

Comment 5 James Heather 2010-01-21 11:37:51 UTC
This is still happening on 2.28.1-2.fc12.

Is there any movement on this? I am anxious to get going with sabayon to create an environment for doing practical exams at uni, but this is a blocker.

It is a shame because it looks really neat--but this bug is nearly six months old now.

There's sabayon-2.29.2-1.fc12 available in F12 repositories which introduced lots of bugfixes - can you try that? Also there's a sabayon-2.29.5-2.fc13 release available from rawhide, which might work even better.

Comment 7 James Heather 2010-01-21 12:46:26 UTC
Thanks! I can't find it in updates or updates-testing, though. Do you mean that I should get it from koji? (Not sure if I know how to do that.)

I did try installing the rawhide one, but it couldn't then find the xguest profile. It had also pulled in some other scary bits from rawhide, and I was a bit worried about trashing the installation, so I downgraded again.

Comment 8 Fedora Update System 2010-01-21 12:53:48 UTC
sabayon-2.29.2-1.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12.

Hum, somebody probably forgot to submit an update, thanks for spotting this.

Right, it's a little dependency hell... 
From the Changelog:
  /etc/desktop-profile moved to /etc/sabayon/profiles
  Manual Migration:
  mv /etc/desktop-profiles/*.xml /etc/sabayon
  mv /etc/desktop-profiles/*.zip /etc/sabayon/profiles

Comment 10 James Heather 2010-01-21 12:56:57 UTC
Great--thanks! Got it, and it looks like it works nicely.

Comment 11 James Heather 2010-01-21 12:59:10 UTC
The change you're referring to is between 2.29.2 and 2.29.5, yes? The new sabayon from f12-updates seems still to be looking in /etc/desktop-profiles. It has just successfully located and edited /etc/desktop-profiles/xguest.zip, in any case.

Yes, that applies to 2.29.5 (and later)
