[opensuse-gnome] Expansion error on libavahi-*
by James Ogley 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

At the moment, we have a lot of expansion errors caused by choices on target repos involving GNOME:STABLE/GNOME:UNSTABLE. A good example of this if GNOME:Community/mail-notification where on openSUSE_10.3+GNOME_STABLE there are all sorts of choices for libavahi-* (also on the UNSTABLE equivalent) openSUSE_10.2+GNOME_STABLE has choices for gnome-filesystem These are replicated across loads of other packages of course - it's not just that one package that's affected. Any ideas/resolutions? -- James Ogley james(a)usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org GNOME for openSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/ Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/in -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] libexec
by James Ogley 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

Currently, %libexecdir is %_prefix/lib not %_prefix/libexec - that's perfectly fine until this happens: sensors-applet has been updated and I was going to update the package in G:C but it wants to install a binary in %libdir called sensors-applet and a directory in %libexecdir called sensors-applet. At this point, I expect everyone can see why the build fails at the moment. Thoughts? Is it okay to specify a different %libexecdir for one package to avoid breakage or should the package be patched to use a different directory within %libexecdir? -- James Ogley james(a)usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org GNOME for openSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/ Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/in -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] education suite for gnome
by Кирилл Кириллов 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hello all. There are only a few additional software-packages in the openSUSE education repo [1] for Gnome desktop compared to KDE one. I've found the only page [2] with the list of Gmome Edu applications. So, can somebody help in packaging gNumExp (http://www.numexp.org/) or gtk-frontend to Celestia (http://www.shatters.net/celestia/) or adding any other Edu application. The following GNOME related packages are already available in repo [1], I suppose, that some of these specs can be improved by competent packagers (especially ones created or changed by me) and any collaboration would be useful: 1. gcompris -'suite' of educational games for young children 2. drgeo - interactive geometry (the same as in the Std repo) 3. solfege - ear training (the same as in the Std repo) 4. gelemental - view the periodic system of elements 5. littlewizard - development environment for children 6. fbreader - reader for different e-books 7. stardict - feature-reach dictionary (the last version) 8. galculator - improved calculator supporting paper-mode 9. atomix - molecule puzzle game 10. GnomeSword - Bible learning and reading tool 11. wxMaxima - gtk-frontend to computer algebra system maxima 12. ...

[opensuse-gnome] 10.3 Update Testing
by JP Rosevear 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

As mentioned in the last meeting, we'd like to release a set of important (but not all critical) updates to 10.3. In order to get some pre-testing, I've put all the updates in GNOME:test-updates:10.3. You can grab them by doing the following: zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/test-updates:/10.3/openSUS… gnome-test-10.3 zypper ref sudo zypper install -t package -r gnome-test-10.3 cups-autoconfig f-spot ggreeter gmime gmime-sharp gnome-cups-manager gnome-mount gnome-volume-manager libgmime-2_0-2 cups* and gnome-main-menu may unfortunately have to be installed by hand atm, zypper wouldn't downgrade these properly for me (my rpm revision numbers are all over the place so YMMV). Check everything is good with 'zypper search -r gnome-test-10.3' and make sure all the packages are 'i' in status not 'v'. Once this is done a simple zypper update -r gnome-test-10.3 will suffice. Please report any regressions or bugs that are not actually fixed. Bugs fixed: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=345163 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330615 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=327122 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=325997 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304124 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330266 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=339481 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=345163 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304933 The main-menu does not seem to have the patch i was expecting for #334550.

[opensuse-gnome] sawfish
by James Ogley 18 Jan '08

[opensuse-gnome] main-menu question
by James Ogley 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

This has been driving me nuts today... Ages ago, I monkeyed around with GConf keys for gnome-main-menu and specifically the System area. I changed the package manager to Smart and removed some of the buttons. Anyway, those options are no longer part of the schemas for the menu but my settings remain. I've removed all GConf keys that I've set that in anyway relate to the menu but it still persists. If I disable the system area being user-modifiable, the "factory" settings are restored but I'd like to be able to control it again - is this possible? (Why would I like to maintain control? Because I'd like to keep the package manager as Smart while restoring buttons such as Logout) Any thoughts would be gratefully received. -- James Ogley james(a)usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org GNOME for openSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/ Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/in -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Broken seahorse?
by Carlos E. R. 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Let me ask this question here, as elsewhere I got no answer. For some time I was unable to ssh from my computer to another old one. I thought it would be a version problem, but then I discovered I could not ssh to my own router as my normal user, but I could do su-ing to a different user first. I then discovered that this sequence works: cer@nimrodel:~> SSH_AGENT_PID='' SSH_ASKPASS='' SSH_AUTH_SOCK='' ssh 1234@router 1234@router's password: -> So there is a broken ssh agent in my system. But which one? One day I killed most of them, and from then on I can ssh sucessfully. I have three running now (after a fresh reboot and an hybernate to disk): cer@nimrodel:~> ps axu | grep agent cer 5614 0.0 0.0 2980 604 ? Ss 09:14 0:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon cer 5615 0.0 0.0 5456 700 ? Ss 09:14 0:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /bin/bash /home/cer/.xinitrc cer 5726 0.3 0.5 95160 5204 ?

Ss 09:14 0:00 /usr/bin/seahorse-agent cer 21030 0.0 0.0 2076 700 pts/18 R+ 12:22 0:00 grep agent cer@nimrodel:~> set | grep SSH SSH_AGENT_PID=5615 SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/lib/ssh/x11-ssh-askpass SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-cBjhK5570/agent.5570 There are at least two, possible three instances of "seahorse-agent" running, and one plain "ssh-agent". When I do "ssh 1234@router" I'm asked for the passphrases to my four "*dsa" files: cer@nimrodel:~> l .ssh/*dsa - -rw------- 1 cer users 736 2004-03-19 03:17 .ssh/cfsf_dsa - -rw------- 1 cer users 736 2004-03-24 02:26 .ssh/id_dsa - -rw------- 1 cer users 744 2004-03-19 03:19 .ssh/old_shsf_dsa - -rw------- 1 cer users 744 2004-04-24 21:41 .ssh/shsf_dsa and then I get the password prompt to the ssh session. If I try again in the same xterm, I'm asked again for the password, so it is not cached, as I assume a decent ssh agent should do. My guess is that those agents are colliding. If I exit my session and enter again, then the whole agent menagerie is broken in someother way and I'm not asked for the passphrases, and seahorse control thing claims there is another agent running - I guess some seahorse was not killed on exit. Will this work some time in the "near" future? Hint: This system was upgraded from 10.2, and more - I never install fresh. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse-gnome] F-Spot 0.4.1
by Ivan N. Zlatev 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

Hey, Some time ago, around F-Spot 0.2.x I forked the package (the OBS doesn't seem to have a concept of branching) and I have kept an up to date version in my home project[1], also linked it in G:C. I have cleaned up the spec and removed unneeded patches. Maybe some of those changes are worth going upstream (factory)? [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=home%3Ai-nZ&package=f-spot Regards. -- Ivan N.
